![Did Daily Deal Sites Jump the Shark? [Infographic]
It’s tough to be a startup in the daily deals space these days. To quantify some of this, CB Insights has released a report covering valuation multiples for both M&A and venture financing for Daily Deal startups. It’s not a pretty picture as valuation multiples both price per subscriber & price per voucher are dropping quickly. Yesterday, The Wall Street Journal (courtesy of aggregator Yipit) reported that nearly one-third (170 out of 530) all daily deal sites have been shut down or acquired. If you blend the Yipit Data with the CB Insights data it looks like 98 have been shut down and 72 have been acquired. (Of course this is two separate data sets so you have to be careful but it’s probably directionally accurate.)](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrtq95VUQM1qz4u66o1_500.jpg)
