Case Study — Intuit
Intuit is a leading financial technology company that provides business and financial management software for individuals and small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). In an effort to become a comprehensive customer growth platform for SMBs, Intuit recently acquired Mailchimp, a marketing automation platform, for $12 billion. This follows Intuit’s acquisition of Credit Karma, a personal credit management company, for $8.1 billion in 2020. To maximize the value of these investments and create sustainable competitive advantages, Intuit should focus on leveraging its core competencies and building network effects among its platforms.
