Why do some startups get acquired and not others? Here's a thought experiment. Suppose you have two startups in the same space with about equal traction. What factors could lead one of those startups to get acquired over the other? I believe a major factor is availability bias on the M&A side. That is, the buyers know more about one over the other and are (often legitimately) biased in their favor.
