Deal case Corporate development first round, Calder Instruments
Calder Instruments sells lab equipment and wants an analytics software layer on top of it. The CEO sees three ways in: build it in-house, buy Veridian Labs Software for $150 million, or partner with Veridian on a revenue share. Once live, the software earns $30 million a year of profit for as long as we own it. Use a 10 percent discount rate. Which do you recommend?
