OpinionExit Mode editorial

We see a clear signal in the cross-border technology deal between Ondas Holdings Inc and Sentry CS Ltd. The transaction, announced on 3 November 2025 and now completed, values the Israeli target at 225 million USD. This is a substantial sum for a strategic acquisition that blends cash and shares as consideration. The move highlights how US buyers are actively seeking to secure advanced capabilities from the Israeli technology sector, a region known for deep engineering talent and innovation. For the SME founder in the UK or Europe, this structure demonstrates that global capital remains eager to back high-growth tech assets, provided the strategic fit is undeniable.

The mechanics of this deal warrant close attention from any founder considering a sale. The mix of cash and shares is a critical detail. While the cash portion offers immediate liquidity, the share component ties the seller's future wealth to the performance of the acquirer. This creates a direct alignment of interests but also introduces volatility risk for the selling founder. In a cross-border context involving a US buyer and an Israeli target, one must also consider the regulatory hurdles that likely preceded completion. Although the deal is done, the path would have required navigating US securities laws and potentially Israeli foreign investment reviews. The absence of a public dispute suggests the parties managed these compliance obligations effectively, which is often the silent killer of complex international M&A.

We believe the strategic nature of this acquisition points to a broader trend where buyers are not just buying revenue, but buying specific technological moats. The use of shares as part of the payment method implies that Ondas Holdings Inc views Sentry CS Ltd as a long-term integral part of its future growth story, rather than a simple bolt-on. This is a positive signal for founders who wish to remain involved post-closing, yet it demands a high level of trust in the buyer's management team. The SME founder must weigh the certainty of cash against the upside potential of equity carefully.

Your action item this week is to review your own cap table and determine exactly how much of your exit value you are willing to accept in buyer stock versus cash. Do not wait until the term sheet arrives to decide your risk tolerance. If you are open to a mixed consideration structure, identify which public or private buyers in your sector have a stock price and strategic vision that aligns with your own long-term goals.
