451 Research’s M&A KnowledgeBase tutorial: Finding venture-backed exits

Contact: Adam Phipps

We recently noted the imbalanced market for selling VC-backed companies with valuations over $1bn. 451 Research’s M&A KnowledgeBase can be used to identify those deals where the target (or even the acquirer) is venture-backed. Searches can be further refined by venture firm – a search of Accel Partners, for example, shows that firm having a strong start to 2015 by exiting investments in lynda.com and MyFitnessPal. Use our saved search of YTD venture exits, and also watch this short tutorial about finding venture capital information in the KnowledgeBase.
