Loopt acquires GraffitiGeo

• ashishk 17y ago
  Congrats to the GraffitiGeo team! This would seem like a talent acquisition, unless GraffitiGeo had a large amount of active users.

  Classic Google tactic of buying early stage companies with great technology and brains. Is this the first time a YC company has acquired another?

    There's one I can think of off the top of my head: Posterous acquired Slinkset. There are probably others.

      Reddit merged with infogami back in the day. http://www.paulgraham.com/notnot.html http://www.paulgraham.com/notnot.html

        Baseshield is also the result of a merger between two YC funded startups.

  Amazing amazing job guys! :)

  Any pointers on size/terms of the deal?
  • shafqat 17y ago
    Why was medianama's innocent question downmodded? I'd be curious to know as well? Downmodding for just asking the question is just bizarre.

  Congrats to both teams. I just looked at Loopt's jobs page and was surprised to see they use a lot of Microsoft technologies. Do any other startups here use .Net, MSSQL etc?
