These kind of acquisitions always astonish me. How does a web company that essentially sells toys get the money to purchase a company that sells professional desktop products?


It's 'valued' at $40bn, so if you can figure out the particulars of their VC rain dance, I imagine there's plenty of capital available for acquisitions.


They’re at a 13x multiple which is fairly conservative for a SaaS with their growth rates, and have been profitable since 2017.

Disclaimer: I used to work there.


True. Maybe a proof of the power of subscription based models?
