So I bought the book yesterday and read it again over the last twenty four hours. AVC regulars don’t need any introduction to Jerry. I’ve been writing about him, citing him, and telling stories about him since the very start of this blog.

At least three or four times this week, one of us uttered something that the other was thinking but just had not said yet.

The chart above shows the total enterprise value (TEV)/forward revenue multiple for the basket of public software companies.
