Would it be possible to identify those companies and then build new companies just to be acquired? Nice chunk of change every 3 years…

This is what many 'serial entrepeneurs' already do.
And what is their algorithm? How to identify those industries?
It’s not obvious to me. “Make a compelling product that speaks to an unfulfilled desire with pitch perfect marketing, relentless quality, and flawless execution” seems to be what differentiates who we acquired. There were a lot of startup brands and only a few were acquired in my time. Most just died.
