Deals & investments in expert networks

The year has barely started, and three large investments are already announced.
Capital keeps sloshing into (and through) some large expert networks.

Really exciting to see the funding of:

• Third Bridge, (sums yet to be disclosed but my best benchmark is that it was acquired at 2-3x sales, meaning an EV of $350-550m).
• Lynk Global ($24m raised)
• Prosapient ($10m raised)

My article from late last year already feels old 🙈
