Valuation Multiples by Size and/or Industry

Hi all,

Does anyone have a source for valuation multiples by company size or industry? Ideally looking for a breakdown by each. I searched the site and couldn't find many previous articles, but curious if there is a recent source. 

Thanks in advance

Did the BVR valuations disappear from Searchfunder...? I found that tool very useful in the past, but I don't see it showing up anymore.

Be aware that you’ll see mediums. And the mediums are not the most important messages. You’ll see inflated and deflated multiples, thanks to the boost or dump in some sectors due to the pandemic effect. Pricing using multiples is not smart.
