Mark Bivens on Rude Baguette on Nikkei acquiring the Financial Times:
Myth #1: Japanese acquirers are not interested in Europe. It surprises me that people still cling to this myth, already debunked years ago in the tech sector by Docomo, Softbank, Rakuten, and Recruit, to reference just a few of the headline dealmakers. It’s one of the reasons I relentlessly preach to European startups to not overlook the world’s third largest economy.
Good point.
