About Post-Merger Inefficiencies
We write with radical honesty about what happens after the deal closes. By operators who have made these mistakes personally. Because the founders who need this information most are being sold consulting engagements instead of the truth.
Post-Merger Inefficiencies was built because there's a massive gap between what M&A advisors tell founders and what actually happens after the deal closes. We've been inside 20+ post-merger integrations at founder-led businesses under $10M EBITDA. We've seen the value destruction happen in real time.
This site exists to give founders the unfiltered picture — not the pitch deck version. Every article is written by someone who has made the mistakes we describe. No consulting speak. No hedge language. Just what we wish someone had told us.
We stay anonymous because candor requires it. The operators who would write the most useful content for founders are the same people who would be unhireable if their names were attached to it. That's the deal.
