Ask HN: Who will acquire GitLab?
Sometimes when a high-profile startup is acquired for a premium, its competitors are also acquired. With the acquisition of GitHub by Microsoft, who will rush to acquire GitLab?
- briandear 8y agoAtlassian naturally.
- thecrumb 8y agoPlease no.
- ezekg 8y agoHonest question: what's wrong with Atlassian? They're the only bootstrapped company in the space, but for some reason HN dislikes them.
- quickthrower2 8y agoMaybe because unlike Google, Yahoo, Facebook etc. many HNers are forced to use this software at work. Other than that it's just another quirky but useful bit of bloatware.
- BjoernKW 8y agoThey already have both a version control and a continuous integration offering. So, it wouldn't really make sense for them to buy GitLab from a products point of view.
