Six months ago, venture capital firm New Enterprise Associates had the opportunity to start selling shares in software vendor MuleSoft, with the post-IPO lockup period coming to an end. The firm opted to hold.

With Salesforce's agreement on Tuesday to acquire MuleSoft for $6.5 billion, NEA's decision turned what was a $340 million stake in September into a $723 million position at the time of the announcement.
