April 18th, 2007Stumble upon to be acquired for $45 M by eBay
Once again, a rising Web (1.0) & 2.0 star is acquired by one of the giants. The news is rapidly spreading over Techcrunch & GigaOM and the amount seems to be around $45 million…
Not too bad for a company that has only raised 1.5 million in Series A.
What’s interesting however, is that they’ve been around since 2001! This proves that companies that have a solid model & a strong team have the opportunity to see their success rewarded with great dollars 
On the rationale of the acquisition, we still have to figure out how they will integrate their offer and technology with eBay’s properties.
