  • Education Technology & Services Market
    Market Update Education Key Highlights The top subsector stock performer in Q4 2019 Technology was digital educational content & services, up 13.7% year-over-year & Services On average, EBITDA multiples for the subsectors decreased 0.5x from the prior quarter and were Q4 2019 down 0.8x on a year-over-year basis 2020 Forecast…Sustained Robust Deal Activity Focused on High Quality Assets and Strong Outcomes-Driven Business Models For several years now, we have been predicting continued consolidation within the education technology and services market. Merger and acquisition activity of all types within the sector has been robust, with overall transaction volumes repeatedly surpassing year-over-year levels by healthy margins. Even with ongoing strategic consolidation in the space, ever-increasing private equity interest in the education sector has been the primary driver of continued strong transaction levels and increasing valuations. A record amount of available capital, or “dry powder,” and elevated interest in software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) business models were the primary underlying factors driving private equity interest levels in ed tech businesses. Interest in high quality education providers has also been robust, underpinned by strong outcome-driven theses behind businesses built to solve the “achievement gap” and/or “skills gap” problem with a keen focus on value proposition to the consumer. In the early childhood segment, activity levels remain high, driven by continued professionalization and consolidation within an otherwise highly fragmented global market. And in the proprietary postsecondary sector, after a “decade of pain,” M&A has made a comeback with several new investments by private equity investors seeking premium operators in markets with strong supply/ demand imbalances.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Afrodisiac by Jim Rugg Afrodisiac by Jim Rugg. January 7, 2010 at 3:38 pm By: Dustin Harbin. Shazam! Coming up on February 7 , just one short month away, Heroes Aren’t Hard To Find will be hosting Afrodisiac ‘s Jim Rugg ! Jim is also the co-writer of the book, along with Brian Maruca ; the two first created Afrodisiac in the pages of their Street Angel series. Jim has also been the artist on several graphic novels with other collaborators, including The Plain Janes and Janes In Love with writer Cecil Castellucci . But enough about all that. AFRODISIAC . This is a pretty hotly anticipated book–Jim has turned into a sort of cartoonist’s cartoonist over the last few years, and he’s definitely showing off in Afrodisiac, switching up styles like Kool & The Gang switches up the rhythm. That was a 70’s funk reference, dig it? The book is chock full of them, and much better ones too– Afrodisiac is (if I have this right) a kind of amalgamation of 70’s-era comic books, blaxploitation films, and sexy times. All filtered through the minds of a couple of dudes from Pennsylvania who grew up on all that stuff. Anyway. Jim will be appearing in our store Sunday, February 7, from 3-6pm , for a signing and a discussion of the book. He’ll be joined by AdHouse Books publisher Chris Pitzer , there mainly for security in case any of you ladies try to swarm Jim or anything. Our Heroes Discussion Group leader Andy Mansell will also be on hand–those of you who have attended any of the Discussion Groups know Andy will close-read a book like no one else, so expect some high quality questions–no extra charge! And there’ll be plenty for Andy to talk about– Afrodisiac is filled with more double entendres than.
