But I'm not talking about "headlines". I'm talking about declines or stagnation that I've seen firsthand. Qlik and ExtJS/Sencha (an Idera victim) all fall in the pattern of being acquired and falling from grace.
- jacquesm 7y agoI realize, but those are the ones that you will hear about. The bulk of PE investments works out just fine, but quietly. You will find out about them in annual reports and such but because those companies are almost by definition now in private hands there are no reporting requirements in the same way that there are for listed companies or for venture backed companies that are trying their best to pump up their valuation.
