How Data Valuation Is Changing Enterprise M&A

What this episode covers

Episode 30 of The Data Business Podcast. Lucas and Luna explore the emerging discipline of data valuation and how it's reshaping mergers and acquisitions. They dive into the 2025 acquisition of a mid-market AI firm where the target's synthetic data library was valued at $47 million — more than its software stack. The hosts discuss the SEC's evolving stance on data as a balance-sheet asset, the accounting firm battle over valuation standards, and why private equity is hiring data economists. If you work in data or M&A, this episode gives you a framework for thinking about what data is actually worth. #DataValuation #MergersAndAcquisitions #DataEconomy #DataAssets #SyntheticData #BusinessValuation #PrivateEquity #SEC #DataAccounting #DataLibraries #FinancialReporting #DataEconomics #EnterpriseData #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DataBusiness #DataDriven Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
