Big Pay Day For Big Data. Teradata Buys Aster Data For $263 Million (techcrunch.com) 31 points by bpuvanathasan 15y ago ↗ HN
[–] jgrahamc 15y ago ↗ Given that $53m had been invested, this doesn't seem like that big a pay day. [–] jswinghammer 15y ago ↗ I don't claim to understand much about that world but I bet the VCs were happy with a 5X return for a company that has been around for 6 years. The bulk of the money was only recently invested too. [–] ctide 15y ago ↗ A 5x return assumes that the VCs owned 100% of the company, which seems 'mildly' unlikely.
