I didn't see the terms on that Tiger capital round anywhere online (very
cursory search tho, so I'm open to being wrong!), but they raised $75 just 2
months ago. I wonder what the terms on that round were and what this
acquisition means for the older shareholders.

Seems unlikely to be a bad deal, given that they _just_ raised, so I'm curious
why a sale happened so soon after closing a round.

Perhaps the addressable market on their own was too small (or so the team at
SignalFx felt), thus now is a good time to sell.

Splunk already has Enterprise and B2B sales down cold, adding a supporting
product is an easy in-sell.

Splunk's existing cloud service is a disaster they are desperate to make it
work but due to lack of experience in the cloud field they think they can buy
credibility by acquiring a SaaS company to make it work and it will only get
worse.

Splunk is forcing customers to sign on to it's cloud service by ending all
perpetual licensing by November 2019 and forcing subscription cloud and term
licensing to make it affordable to customers. It will take them an extra 5 or
more years to break even as their cloud service has been in existence for 6
years. There is no guarantee of success as they haven't been known for their
execution with poor leadership everywhere in the company.

The SignalFX exec management team will make money but no one else will. They
will only be there for one year as they realize they've been put into
subservient roles reporting to incompetent SVP and VP Splunk managers.

The regular employees will soon find out that Splunk is a chaotic and terrible
environment and that no one is held accountable for their mistakes or lack of
competence. Their stocks will be reset to what splunk will dole out for new
employees and they have to vest for 4 years all over again.

There is no joy to this it's a brutal reality and
