We dive into Applied Systems’ acquisition of EZLynx, Zywave’s acquisition of ITC, American Family’s acquisition of Bold Penguin, and Brown & Brown’s acquisition of CoverHound.
Indio Technologies was acquired last year by Applied. We interviewed Ken Wohl of Indio on Episode 3 of our podcast.
Also, we explore potential acquisitions for agency owners, including some industries you may not have thought of as potential targets.
