MidCo Hall of Fame - Google


The MidCo Hall of Fame

In my previous post, I outlined the broad parameters that I use to determine whether a company qualifies as a MidCo.  As a reminder, MidCos matter because it is my contention that they tend to be great businesses and as such are a a great place to pan for investment gold.  As a close friend pointed out, Barry Diller made a career out of buying and selling them (see IAC).  In this post, I will induct the first ever member to my MidCo Hall of Fame.  First up is the king of all private sector MidCos - Google.
