The Deal

Bought By
Christian Lawrence and Ciaran Power
Year
Not published by any primary source
The index host prints its own 2012 investment year and a roster launch year for the search, both the backer's dates. The second index host's card says acquired in 2004, eight years before the first host's 2012 investment beside these two names, so whether the two were the 2004 buyers is not stated anywhere read. Nothing read states when the purchase closed.

Method & Source

This record is double-sourced: it joined when the purchase and, where the company has traded on, the exit could both be read in primary accounts rather than inferred.

These sources name who runs the business and when the firm invested, rather than saying in a sentence that the searchers bought it. The index host names the person beside the company on its company page and on its roster, which files a partnered search with no launch year printed beside its own 2012 investment. The second index host's card says the company was acquired in 2004 and exited in 2017 and names nobody, and a third backer's card carries it with its own 2004 entry. Nothing read says the person bought it.
