Google += Looker - $2.6 billion

Google to acquire analytics startup Looker for $2.6 billion | TechCrunch

"Google made a big splash this morning when it announced it’s going to acquire Looker, a hot analytics startup that’s raised more than $280 million. It’s paying $2.6 billion for the privilege and adding the company to Google Cloud."

"the company has 1,600 customers now and just crossed the $100 million revenue run rate,"

So it is 26x "revenue", not profit. Expensive.
