Video FAQs

1Mby1M Virtual Accelerator Investor Forum: With Seong Kim, Corporate Strategy & Development at Chegg Inc. (Part 5)

Sramana Mitra: In smaller acquisitions, what role does valuation play?

Seong Kim: It really depends on why you’re acquiring the business and what you’re ascribing the value of the business to. The role of valuation is always prevalent and important. The needle gets moved by the conviction that an acquirer is able to build around what it’s acquiring and the future state of that team as well. When you’re talking about smaller check sizes, the acquirer tends to focus on the simplest forms of consideration. It can be just cash along with some equity incentive.

1Mby1M Virtual Accelerator Investor Forum: With Seong Kim, Corporate Strategy & Development at Chegg Inc. (Part 4)

Sramana Mitra: What have you disclosed on the valuation on this most recent acquisition? In general, how do you think about valuation? How does valuation play into your acquisition decision?

Seong Kim: The valuation of this deal was approximately $436 million. This is based in London and Madrid. It’s definitely a key factor that impacts whether or not a deal is done, but it shouldn’t be the most important. Valuation is a dependent variable that is influenced by a multitude of factors, some of which, founders can influence and others, they can’t.
