So-called “unicorns”—privately-held tech companies that achieve billion-dollar valuations—are chomping at the bit to make their first acquisitions, suggesting a mounting pressure on companies to grow even quicker. On average, recently founded unicorns are more likely to make their first M&A transactions sooner after founding than their older counterparts. (TechCrunch)

The whole point of young tech companies is a to solve a specific problem well. Now, admittedly recruiting competent staff can be a big hindrance, and can be solved by acquisition (then again staff is quite agile, so risky).

Signs of bubble inflating (ever so slowly) IMHO. Credit is cheap so why not buy a bunch of stuff.
