AI Is Rewriting Due Diligence & How We Acquire Businesses - Here’s How Buyers Win or Lose with Haytham Allos

About this episode

The episode discusses how AI is transforming due diligence in business acquisitions and the advantages it offers to savvy buyers.

Most buyers are still doing due diligence like it's 2015. And the ones who know how to use AI? They're finding better deals, faster, and you'd never even know they were looking.

Why most buyers are still flying blind , why AI without the right prompting is actually dangerous in a deal, and the one thing that kills more mergers than bad financials ever will.
