How much did vmware buy Heptio for?

Does anybody know the real price tag of Heptio acquisition by VMware? Hearing rumors of 600M - did they pay that for 2 yr old startup that does professional services?

600M whaaaaat no way Though I guess they were valued at $117M last year

Look at their last series of funding.. extrapolating what series D/E funding goes for you'd arrive at ~300M. Not bad

300m seems low. A source familiar with the deal pegged the price as “significantly more” than the $250 million that Red Hat paid for CoreOS in January, but declined to comment further.

I didn't accept heptio offer. Really curious about acquisition price to calculate if I made bad financial decision or not.

There’s way more to Heptio than professional services, just not public

I’d be surprised if there were no competitive bids! Btw, welcome to VMWare!!
