What do you call a unicorn that flies under the radar? Meet Germany's hidden champion, TeamViewer

Nearly two years ago, online collaboration software maker TeamViewer was acquired by European private equity firm Permira for a - then - undisclosed sum.

Headquartered in Göppingen, a sleepy borough east of Stuttgart, the company had been previously owned by GFI Software, itself backed by American VC firm Insight Venture Partners.

The size of the acquisition remained under wraps upon closing of the deal, until it was later confirmed to be as high as €870 million (close to $1 billion at current exchange rates).
