Off the top companies that were acquired after their first round:
eBuilder | raised $8.4m -> sold $500m
Chewy.com | raised $450m -> IPO $8.7b
BelugaCDN | undisclosed acquired by SSL provider Comodo
Willing.com | raised $7.1m -> acquired by Life Insurance provider MetLife
Octopi | undisclosed acquired by CargoTec (logistics company)
LiveNinja | raised $3m -> acquired by Net2Phone
If we go by funding round/private valuation:
Magic Leap (I saw the founder pre ML @ local meetups)
REEF technologies (saw them as a competitor for years on a side project before SoftBank dumped $100m in)
Papa (met the founder a few times pre YC)
OnSwipe (saw it before Yuri Milner invested after the company moved to NY)
There’s not a lot of them BUT they are super easy to get to & write checks into if you’re here. Email is in my profile if you want access to a few that are still easy access / low valuation.
