Co-hosted by JR Reimer and Michael Paretzky, 5 Tool Deal makes business news exciting and digestible for anyone interested in staying up to date on M&A (mergers and acquisitions) and sports.  M&A is essentially the free agency and trading block of the business world. When a team’s farm system isn’t enough, they lean on free agency and trades to make the best roster possible. When a company wants to improve performance, they often lean on M&A to acquire talent, fill gaps in their capabilities, and increase revenue and/or profit for the short and long term. Each week JR and Paretzky break down 3 major M&A deals. In their premiere episode, they cover potential acquisitions of two major sports and digital media companies, Barstool Sports and The Ringer, which could not be happening for more distinct reasons. They close out by explaining why Visa spent $5.3B to acquire Plaid. As a sneak peak- it's becuase of Plaid's role as the irreplaceable field maintenance crew behind Venmo, RobinHood, Coinbase, and more. Tune in for all the exciting details. We want your feedback!
