It doesn't seem that much stranger than the Cruise or Argo; people with real experience are getting snapped up like crazy without a product.

- alpha_squared 10y agoCan't find info on Argo (not looking properly, most likely), but Cruise raised over $18m before being bought (for ???). It looks like a solid effort to launch a product/startup that was snatched up. Otto was ~6 months and bought for $680m. I think there's a pretty large delta of strangeness there.

- computerphage 10y agoCruise was bought for a billion dollars. Argo got a billion dollar investment.
- Fricken 10y agoArgo isn't really an independent startup, Ford was behind it all along.
- computerphage 10y agoDo you have a source for that I could read?
