Short YouTube commentary by Hiten Shah (uploaded July 30, 2024) analyzing an M&A boardroom scene from the TV show Succession. The commentator compares startup M&A meetings to the scene, emphasizes that everyone in the room should focus on solving the problem once it’s raised, and rates the scene’s realism highly (about 9/10).

Hey, hey. Hey, buddy. Good to see you. So we ready to up? Look, I'm really sorry, but it looks like there's an issue. Come on, I came all the way up here, dude. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Dude, when you're going through M and A as a startup, it's almost exactly like this. They don't always know what the meeting's about. So I can see the agitation there on the acquirer. And he's got this founder who seems nervous because he's about to deliver bad news. And he straight up goes, yeah, we have a problem. Here's a funny thing. Everyone's job in the room is to solve that damn problem. The more direct you are about that right away, the more likely it is that the deal actually happens. So I'd give this in terms of accuracy, like a nine out of ten.
