The anticipated acquisition of Mailchimp by Intuit for around $12 billion in cash and stock will further the company’s objective of empowering prosperity throughout the world, as well as its strategy to become an AI-driven expert platform, both of which will benefit from the transaction.
It is expected that Intuit will use the Mailchimp acquisition to expedite the implementation of two of its previously stated strategic priorities: to become the hub of small business development and to disrupt the small business mid-market.
