Should I acquire a smaller AI-native agency to upgrade my capability?

I’m too slow to retrofit AI and buying a young firm might be faster

It can work, but acquisition is hard and the integration is where the value is won or lost. Buying an AI-native shop can fast-track capability, talent and culture you’d struggle to build, but only if you can actually absorb it without the founders leaving and the magic evaporating. Be clear whether you’re buying capability, talent, clients or culture, and plan the integration before the deal, not after.
