Wiz and Cursor combine rapid growth with acquisition prices of about 32× and 15× revenue on the selected benchmarks. Airtable grew more than 20% and sold at 2.7× recurring revenue. These 11 acquisitions show the variation within the market: growth is one factor alongside margins, strategic fit, cash, debt and the terms of the deal.

Hover over a company for its buyer, growth period and price basis. Fin and Contentful are included as marked estimates; Fin covers the whole former Intercom business. Miro remains a price-only reference because a recent growth figure could not be reconciled. Bubble sizes use a logarithmic value scale, so smaller acquisitions remain visible.

Selected acquisitions: growth periods and sources

The sample covers acquisitions completed during 2025–Q3 2026, plus Miro’s pending agreement. It is an editorial selection, with no fitted trend line or claim that growth causes a particular price. The growth axis uses a symmetric-log scale with a 10-percentage-point constant, retaining negative and zero growth; the multiple axis is logarithmic. Bubble area follows ln(1 + deal value / $100M). The legend shows the resulting size scale.

For paired observations, growth is current revenue divided by prior revenue, less one. Public-company points use the last full-year results published before closing. HashiCorp and Smartsheet therefore use the years ended January 2023 and January 2024; Brightcove uses 2022–2023, Vimeo and Informatica use 2023–2024, and CyberArk uses 2024–2025. CyberArk’s growth includes acquisitions and is not an organic-growth measure. These periods differ from the quarterly index above.

Private-company figures require additional qualifications. Wiz uses approximate $500M and $1B recurring-revenue records for 2024 and 2025; matched observation dates are unavailable. Cursor uses rounded June 2025 and June 2026 run-rate benchmarks. Airtable is plotted at the disclosed growth lower bound of 20%. Sacra’s company-wide Fin estimate is $419M with 27% growth in 2026, with no exact within-year cutoff specified; its AI agent’s faster product-only growth is excluded. Contentful uses Sacra’s older 2024 estimate of $219M versus $183M in 2023. Neither estimate is a verified revenue observation at the acquisition date.

A dagger marks a price proxy. HashiCorp and Airtable use disclosed enterprise value. Other plotted companies use announced equity or transaction consideration. Salesforce’s Contentful and Informatica amounts exclude shares it already owned, so they are partial-consideration proxies rather than whole-company enterprise values. Announcement prices may differ from closing consideration. Miro’s $1.355B enterprise value and $600M recurring revenue imply 2.3×, but repeated API observations and conflicting third-party estimates do not establish current growth.

The next-gen API supplied company, funding and financial-history records. Company announcements, filings and explicitly labelled third-party estimates establish the plotted definitions.
