They Got Acquired - Don't go in blind

Would you go blind into a negotiation?

Hell, no. You'd do your research, positioning yourself to get as much as possible out of the deal.

Yet when it comes to sales of private companies, information can be hard or even impossible to come by.

Today we're shedding light on a slice of this ecosystem through a new report, which compiles metrics and context behind 25 deals in the content and media space:

You won’t find data like this anywhere else — case studies that show how businesses like yours maximized their sale price.

Our report arms you with information about the content landscape, so you can squeeze as much value as possible out of your own sale.

This data is crucial if you're about to sell or buy a business. Yet it's arguably just as important when you're a year or two away from selling, so you have time to pull levers that will increase the value of your company.

What's included?

Through first-person interviews and online research, we’ve compiled data and details behind 25 acquisitions. You'll get all the data in a spreadsheet, plus in a written story format that puts the details into context.

Choose between two versions:

• Lite report: Covers just a few deals (free)
• Full report: Showcases all 25 deals ($299)

For the Full report, we're offering a launch price this week of $299. Our expectation is you will earn that back hundreds of times over by applying what you learn from our research.

On Saturday, October 8, the price goes up to $399. You've got six days to get it at this price!

This is the report I wish I had when I sold my own content companies. Now the data is just a click away.

Behind the business

This is an exciting day for us.

I began working on this company about a year ago, with a vision of offering "comps" or comparable companies for entrepreneurs looking to sell — because that's what I wish I had when I sold my business.

If you were selling your house, you'd look at other houses in your neighborhood to see what they sold for, right? We needed a way to do that when selling online businesses.

Now it's possible.
