o Amount Paid for
Venture-Backed Companies Highest Since 2000
San Francisco - Prices paid for U.S. venture-backed
companies last year reached their highest overall level since 2000,
with $27.33 billion spent on 356 mergers and acquisitions, according
to a new report from San Francisco-based VentureOne. While the
number of acquisitions was down slightly from 2004, the total amount
paid rose 17%. The median amount paid for an acquired company in
2005 was $47.5 million, while the median amount invested in these
companies prior to acquisition was $23 million. "The year 2005
proved to be a strong year for venture-capital backed companies,
particularly those in the information technology industry, to exit
via an acquisition," said John Gabbert, the managing director of
private markets for Dow Jones. About 62% of the companies acquired
were in the IT sector. Meanwhile, 41 of the companies held initial
public offerings (IPOs), raising a total of $2.24 billion -- less
than half the $4.98 billion that venture-backed IPO companies raised
in 2004. The numbers of IPOs was still more than the totals for
2001, 2002 and 2003.
