Why Did ACG Hire Nolan?
Nolan’s experience with SaaS and subscription based business models was important to ACG to assist with valuation, negotiation and deal structure.
What Value Did Nolan Deliver?
Nolan’s process delivered GF Data, the leading provider of middle-market transaction multiples and other deal data.
Founded in 2006, GF Data provides aggregated data and analysis to subscribers through electronically delivered reports and access to its valuation database.
To date, GF Data has tracked more than 4,000 transactions valued between $10 million and $250 million, with acquisition details provided anonymously by more than 250 private equity firms through a secure online interface.
Data can be filtered by NAICS code, total enterprise value, revenue, EBITDA and more.
“This is a company that fits squarely in ACG’s wheelhouse,” said Tom Bohn, ACG’s President and CEO. “GF Data’s unique, proprietary research methodology provides objective, transaction-based clarity for mid-market dealmakers – a key component of ACG’s membership. This acquisition is truly an example of ACG living its mission of driving middle-market growth through M&A.”
Going forward, GF Data will become an integral part of ACG’s content strategy and membership experience, providing a standardized baseline of deal terms.
