i mean, that was obviously hyperbolic framing by a forbes writer who needed to create some contrast in the before/after comparison in order to make the deal seem like a company-saving thing. company was probably already worth $4b even without HVR. they just exaggerated the deal difference based on available data points. dont take the article's hyperbole at face value beyond the cited facts.

I don’t think a company where their own board of directors said they don’t have a viable product, should be valued at $5B, $4B, or even $1B
They directly quoted a board member saying “there is no product here.” If there is hyperbole it’s coming from Fivetran itself.
