On this week’s episode of M&A Masters, we are joined by Ryan Milligan, Partner of ParkerGale. Guided by their principle – “products that matter, cultures that last” – ParkerGale is a small private equity firm that focuses on profitable, lower middle market technology companies and the convergence of private equity and software. 

“Let’s just be transparent, and let’s just give everyone the answers to the test,” Ryan says of the empathy he has learned in the market - take the competitive advantage off the table and make it about the people. 

We chat with Ryan about his journey to building a successful company and culture in ParkerGale, as well as: 

• The excitement of working in the lower middle market 
• The importance and art of measuring culture
• How a “Chief Worry Officer” can fit into risk decisions and dynamics
• Buyer diligence and reps and warranties
• The future of software post-pandemic 
• And more
