Selling Your e-Commerce Company in 2011

摘要

There can be no clearer sign that the dot-com era is over than the results of the 2010 elections. The resounding defeats of tech icons Meg Whitman (of eBay) and Carly Fiorina (of HP) - despite spending (Whitman spent more than $141 million of her own money on her campaign) - showed that our society no longer believes (if it ever did) that the stars of Silicon Valley, self-styled modern-day "masters of the universe," could solve all our problems (at least until the next revolution, because they come so predictably in the tech world).rnAnother sign of how times have changed for tech entrepreneurs hit much closer to home with the release of the 2010 SRSM&A Deal Terms Study by Shareholder Representative Services, "an analysis of deal terms in private target M&A transactions" from 2007 to 2010.
