- filoleg 2y agoMicrosoft bought Github for $7.5bil and LinkedIn for $26.2bil. I think any big tech company of an even remotely close caliber would have no reservations about purchasing Vercel, if they cared to. I mean ffs, Adobe almost acquired Figma (“it’s just a software service for software UI mockups!”) for ~$20bil, and the only reason they abandoned the deal was due to legal challenges from the European Commission and the UK Competition and Markets Authority. With the take of those authorities, in crude and simplified terms, essentially meaning “this deal seems way too good for you and gives you [Adobe] too much of an unfair anti-competitive advantage”. So yeah, it kinda makes sense why Adobe and the rest don’t mind spending billions on those types of acquisitions (assuming they actually go through), given how good it ends up for their business. So yes, if Adobe was more than willing to buy Figma for $20bil, then I don’t think there would be a lack of big tech companies having any reservations about acquiring Vercel for “multiple of $3bil” (assuming they were interested in the company in the first place).
