OK, now. Now we're going to see more startups acquire other startups

Back in June, I predicted that we would see an uptick in startups acquiring other startups this year. According to data from Crunchbase, as of December 13, 1,291 startups have been acquired by other venture-backed companies this year. This compares to 1,292 in 2021. So while this year is on track to see more transactions than last, it won’t be by a meaningful amount.
