Mashable raised $46m and sold for ~$50m. It was a fire sale. TechCrunch sold for ~$30m with the founder owning the majority of the stock.
- cocktailpeanuts 9y agoYou're thinking from the founder's perspective. I was talking from the company valuation point of view. More importantly, the whole point of my comment has nothing to do with who made how much. It's that everyone lost.
- trustfundbaby 9y agoTechcrunch didn't lose. Michael Arrington, made a good amount of money from the sale at the time, unlike Mashable now.
- cocktailpeanuts 9y ago> You're thinking from the founder's perspective. > I was talking from the company valuation point of view Man, kids nowadays, they don't even read before commenting. And it was only three lines. Was that so hard to read 3 lines right above?
- MichaelGG 9y agoI agree with you but HN is better off without these kinds of comments. Better to have people downvote and move on or just leave a short corrective note.
