These are all great thoughts. From my personal experience, Start-up companies with minimum financial information require strong due diligence on the employees, specifically executive team and key talent. In addition, IP and product synergies are extremely important. For early stage products, the total address market is important to evaluate. Similar to the Polycom case, we know that it is important to evaluate the potential synergies, product potential and to have a look at cultural integration/due diligence.
