I don't think they got as far as making a website before being acquired. AFAICT the name of the company hadn't even been announced prior to this, it was just vaguely referred to as Jony Ive's hardware company.
- hu3 1y agoThank you for providing context. "About 55 hardware engineers, software developers, and manufacturing experts will join OpenAI as part of the acquisition". (for $6.5B) So I think WhatsApp still holds the record for engineer/$B acquisition: "WhatsApp had 32 engineers when it was bought for 19 billion dollars." Even more if you correct for inflation.
- Nerd_Nest 1y agoAh, that clears things up. No wonder the website is hard to find if they hadn’t officially announced the company yet.
