For how much?
2 comments

From TechCrunch: "The amount of the acquisition is not being disclosed, but it was likely small. Buying Divvyshot is a talent acquisition for Facebook."
cash or stock?
Who made the first move?
What phase of the moon was it when you guys agreed on the terms? And was Jupiter visible?
Contrary to the sentiment of the other replies, I feel this is an interesting question. For those nearing the parapet of potential acquisition it would be interesting to know how affirmative one's actions should be.
Facebook, via email.
How many days did it take from initial email to final acquisition?
I'm curious as to how that would matter too much.
It matters for the s ake of increasing the information available about the market for startups. Granted, startups span a huge space, but there's a real dearth of pricing information overall.

None of this matters, the only relevant question is whether it's interesting.
