It’s essentially one of two websites that control most of the Macintosh software updates. We’re looking for a qualified organization or person that has experience in appraising online businesses. You should have experience valuing both smaller and multi-million dollar online communities. A track record of previous valuations is very important. Experience working with VC capital funding and business acquisition is important. Having a network of investors and companies looking to make acquisitions is a bonus.
