TLDR; On startup acquisitions: Your culture will change, intentionally or otherwise. Embrace it. Resistance is Futile

I was recently invited to speak at [McKinsey's Digital and Analytics Summit](https://solutions.mckinsey.com/msd /dnasummit/), where I focused on digital disruption in large corporations, innovation labs, and startup acquisitions. Having experience over the years with startup acquisitions, I've had front-row seats on the good and the bad (mostly bad) ways in how they've taken shape. This short series is meant to be a landmine map for startup employees and founders, of the most common missteps I've witnessed post-acquisition, in contrast to the talk I have, which was focused on what corporate leaders could do differently after a startup is acquired to help preserve and grow their investment.
