Excendio Advisors: Decoding the Company Size-Age-Owner Age Equation in Tech M&A

ITechQUITY INSIGHTS: THE SIZE-AND-AGE EQUATION IN TECHNOLOGY M&A by Excendio Advisors

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, September 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Proprietary analysis of more than 20,000 technology M&A transactions uncovers measurable relationships between founder age, company maturity, and business size at exit.

Excendio Advisors, a technology-focused M&A advisory firm, today announced the publication of a series of research articles based on ITechQUITY, the firm’s proprietary M&A intelligence platform that analyzes more than 20,000 technology transactions completed over the past two decades.

The research explores what Excendio calls the Company Size – Company Age – Owner Age Equation in Mergers & Acquisition, a set of correlations that reveal how founder age, company maturity, and company scale influence transaction outcomes across the technology sector.

Drawing from one of the industry’s most specialized transaction databases, the analysis examines patterns among managed service providers (MSPs), system integrators, value-added resellers (VARs), software companies (SaaS), and other technology service businesses. The findings provide technology founders with a data-driven perspective on how businesses evolve and ultimately reach the point of sale.

“For years, founders have asked us questions such as, ‘When do technology entrepreneurs typically sell?’ ‘How large are companies when they transact?’ and ‘How does company age affect exit outcomes?'” said Cristian Anastasiu, Founder and Managing Partner of Excendio Advisors. “ITechQUITY allows us to move beyond anecdotal observations and answer those questions using actual transaction data.”
Among the insights explored:

• The relationship between company age and company size at the time of sale.
• How owner age correlates with business maturity and exit timing.
• Differences in transaction patterns across company size categories.
• Long-term trends in technology M&A over more than two decades.
• Strategic implications for founders planning growth, succession, or an eventual exit.

In addition to the published research, Excendio announced that ITechQUITY’s data and analytical capabilities are now available to qualified clients. The platform enables customized market intelligence, buyer identification, transaction benchmarking, industry trend analysis, valuation support, and strategic planning insights tailored to specific technology sectors and business profiles.

“Our objective is to help founders make better decisions long before they go to market,” Anastasiu added. “Whether an owner is planning an exit in one year or ten years, access to targeted data can significantly improve strategic decision-making and transaction preparedness.”

The initial research series is available through Excendio Advisors’ website, with additional studies planned covering technology sector valuation trends, buyer behavior, founder experiences, and transaction outcomes.
