Any guess for how much they got acquired?
Any idea how much Google or other companies pay for acquisition like this?
A different answer: because someone was willing to pay $3.9b for it.
No, they bought $2B at $47B valuation a year later.
Any guesstimates on how much it was acquired for?
Sounds like it's about a 10x revenue buyout. Seems right on the money.
Unsure of the terms of the deal, but maybe this was simply a talent acquisition plus strategic purchase? Maybe the cost wasn't that high. I am sure an offer to work at Facebook and integrate your product into the FB platform has some intangible appeal.
well, it likely wasn't worth 1 billion when they acquired most of it.
400 million revenue, 20 billion acquisition price. Sounds like free market to me? They paid up to protect their business and everyone walked away happy.
I doubt that $2.6B is for an acquihire.
