Can Gawker Media Be Worth $274 Million?
We know it sounds high, and until Nick Denton decides he might want to sell the company, we obviously won't know the market value of Gawker Media - owner of Gawker, Gizmodo, Wonkette, eight other blogs and perhaps the largest combined audience in the blogosphere. But bare with us on this: we found it to be useful exercise as we contemplated some new and old deals in the media space.
Here's the math to show you why we think Gawker Media fares well in relation to comparables at $274M. To be clear, we think this math could apply to other blogs as well, from BoingBoing to Instapundit, though we think Gawker is the clear leader of all blog media ventures.
Investment bankers and VCs will tell you that there are innumerable ways to get to a valuation, and market timing is always a factor. If you've ever tried to raise money, as we have in other ventures, you'll know that valuation is essentially a best guess. One method, albeit a Bubble Era favorite, is to base a valuation on the value of unique visitors - a figure that is often reached by considering intangibles like the impact of the brand, audience demographics, and the people involved. Gawker Media is a private company so we do not have access to bottom line figures, but we are certain that the margins are healthy given its super-lean operation.
So how do we get to the $274M valuation??

Edmonton dominated the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night and the 4-0 margin in Game 6 makes it hard to imagine the Oilers not hoisting hockey's Holy Grail above their heads in less than 48 hours. And it would not come as any shock to see defenseman Chris Pronger, who had another 31-minute night, take the honors for the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP.
