Seems like overkill to get the integrations into a single product.
Surely, buy 25% shares and seat on the board. Make a contract that Notion integrations are advertised first and everything else is encouraged to work with it.
That way automate still has a larger target market and provides a channel into Notion sales.
This kills automate's growth. I wonder what the price tag was.
- nvrspyx 5y agoFrom Automate.io's announcement [0], rather than Notion's, they will continue to operate independently. It doesn't appear that it's being assimilated to be a Notion-oriented product, but rather a closer relationship between the two while diversifying Notion's business. I guess time will tell, but I imagine it's safer financially for Notion to let Automate continue operating as it has been while working more closely to bring first-class integrations into Notion and improving Notion's API. 0: https://automate.io/blog/notion-acquires-automateio/ https://automate.io/blog/notion-acquires-automateio/
- pieno 5y agoBuying only 25% sounds good from Notion’s perspective but is absolutely the worst possible deal for Automate’s shareholders. The value of the remaining 75% Automate shares would tank after that deal because Notion basically owns you with their 25% shares, board seat and preferred contract.
