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.
