Assessment

Then-CEO of Talend Mike Tuchen stated in June 2018 that customers spend between $50,000 and $60,000 per year on average. While derived calculations from Talend's SEC filings show average annual subscription revenue per customer of approximately $48,000 in 2015 ($62.7M / ~1,300 customers) and $59,000 in 2016 ($89.0M / ~1,500 customers), Talend never publicly reported or confirmed a distinct, standardized metric for initial or upfront enterprise average deal size in its Form F-1, Form 20-F, or Form 10-K filings. Because Talend was acquired by Thoma Bravo and taken private in 2021, no further public SEC disclosures exist to verify this specific internal metric.

Talend's Form F-1 and Form 20-F filings reported subscription revenues and customer counts implying overall average revenue per subscription customer of ~$48,000 in 2015 and ~$59,000 in 2016.
Talend's public SEC filings did not disclose or define a specific metric for initial/upfront average deal size or enterprise-tier average contract value.
Talend was taken private by Thoma Bravo in 2021 and combined with Qlik, leaving no further public filings to resolve the claim.
