HELP-Where to get acquisition information about private targets?
Long story short: I'm an intern at a VC. A GP wanted me to value a company using precedent transactions analysis. He selected the acquisition comparable universe, which includes Skype, Viber and Whatsapp. How do I get the financial information about these companies when it got acquired? Thanks.
Assuming you don't have capital IQ, you can just google for news. I just typed in "viber acquisition revenue" and the first link has price, revenue, and user numbers. Check SEC filings for the acquiring company too.
Agreed with above. Google should be able to get you the general metrics of what you are looking for. For tech companies, you can also look around tech blogs and databases such as crunchbase.
