When the media covers business acquisitions, it’s usually only for huge deals involving VC-backed companies. Coverage of mergers for small, bootstrapped businesses is almost nonexistent. That’s where They Got Acquired comes in. Launched in 2021, it focuses on acquisitions in the $100,000 to $50 million range. Recently, it put out a detailed research report specifically focused on acquisitions of media outlets, which are typically sold at lower multiples than other kinds of online businesses.
