How would you evaluate a potential acquisition target from a product perspective?

Model answerProduct evaluation of an acquisition comes down to three questions: does their user base complement or overlap ours, does their technology accelerate something we'd otherwise spend years building, and is there a culture of product thinking we'd want to absorb — or a culture clash we'd spend years fixing? I'd spend as much time on the team and culture as on the product itself. Great products with bad team dynamics are hard integration targets.
