Congrats to the Hipmunk team! I've been using Hipmunk since the beginning, and have found it to be a pleasant way to search for flights. They obviously care a lot about creating a good experience for the customer, which is a lot more than I can say about the big travel sites. I hope that the team had a nice exit, and that they continue to develop Hipmunk within Concur.

Unless tech crunch got things very wrong, they didn't. The investors will get a base hit, the employees, nothing.

  I bet the investors did OK. Some employees might get a nice retention package, but they'll have to sign a document stating their stock/options are now worth $0, so they can take or leave the retention deal. The founders probably did OK, but they might have the same type of deal ($0 for their stock, except their retention is probably orders of magnitude better than any employee's).
