Investments in and acquisitions of startups offer major opportunities—both for the startups themselves and for the companies that invest in or acquire them. Startups gain the ability to scale and access new resources, while established companies benefit from innovation, new business models, and tech talent.

One reason for this is the lack of tax or regulatory incentives, as well as a certain cultural and strategic reluctance among established companies to engage in startup collaborations
