In the first half of 2024, a new trend began reshaping the AI industry: reverse acquihires, where tech giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Atlassian absorbed talent and technology from smaller startups without full-scale acquisitions. Unlike traditional acquihires, reverse acquihires involved hiring entire teams and licensing their cutting-edge technology, bypassing regulatory hurdles. Amazon led the charge with strategic moves involving Covariant and Adept AI, strengthening its AI and robotics capabilities. Microsoft followed suit by onboarding top figures from Inflection AI, forming a new entity within the company to drive innovation. This trend raised concerns about stifling innovation and consolidating power among major players, but it also offered startups financial stability and accelerated access to resources. As reverse acquihires gained traction, the long-term effects on competition and industry dynamics remained uncertain.
