Surprised The Economist published this misguided puff piece. And even more surprised these researchers haven't seemed to grasp the idea of correlation not equaling causation. "If one investor of a pair has a degree from a leading universit

I don't buy it. In the case of CL or the other companies mentioned (Netflix and LinkedIn), calling any of them communication tools is not really close to an apt description/characterization. If we characterize them as communication tools, w

One - you're grossly oversimplifying why CL won. Friendster had first mover advantage as well. Two - you have way more faith in our legislators than I do. Remember SOPA, PIPA etc from way back in the day. Oh wait - that was a few months ago

This is a slippery slope. Who defines these universal data types? And if they only are "defined" when someone gets big and powerful, doesn't that reduce the incentive to innovate and build big businesses? The idea of mandating any such rul

This is really well-written, but I guess I don't understand why there is so much discussion of this topic. Like most things in life, startups have good moments & bad ones. I co-founded a tech company and there are sleepless night as al

Unfortunately, don't know the answer to this as even getting the $2-5M number took us some digging. But your assumption is probably right and is only logical in that the "spoils" of an acqui-hire are not evenly distributed across the team.

by asanwal 14y ago
Acqui-hires by definition are not a purchase of the startup but of the talent. What we've seen in talent acquisition valuations we've captured is the range is large ($2-$5M/engineer). While these numbers look very appealing, please note th
