Is that financed by all the other companies they extract from?
- tehlike 16d agoPartially, but why is that a problem?

- zipy124 16d agoThey are heavily debt financed I believe, almost $5 billion worth last I checked.
- denverllc 16d agoSo they really are like the Private Equity of the software world.
- zipy124 16d agoYes but focussing more on long-term ownership, as opposed to the usual turn-around and flip or asset stripping methodology.
- yborg 16d agoMore like following the Computer Associates model, a tale as old as time. Find a mature platform with a captive user population with a fat, lazy management team, buy them out, slash headcount, and open the taps. Someone in the thread mentioned Atlassian, that is a perfect target for this kind of strategy.
