| | | | Valuing a company is always a mix of science and art, especially for startups. Historically the science has been pretty simple: Find comparable companies and do a multiple of earnings or revenue. However, three drivers of startup valuation have emerged that are changing the game. "Acquihire," is the act of buying out a company for the skills and expertise of its staff. When Facebook buys a company likeHot Potato, it's not for the revenue stream or products - it's for the employees. Companies like Facebook and Google have led the way in making acquihire-based valuation more predictable and scientific. But two new groups of acquisitions are more interesting. I categorize them as "efficient customer acquisition" and "buying an option." They have left traditionalists and "acquihirists" scratching their heads, trying to figure out where these valuations are coming from. But the more we look at these categories, the more they start to make sense. | |
