The rumors are true. Congratulations to Howard and WallStrip!
*Howard Lindzon gives a thorough rundown of the acquisition.
*Fred Wilson, the lead investor, gives another interesting take.
*Trader Mike, who seems to have some equity-in-exchange-for-publicity, one of Wallstrip’s founders and investors, also covers the story.
*And TechCrunch covers the deal, albeit, with plenty of criticism in the comments.
Last but not least, WallStrip’s coverage of the WallStrip deal:
“equity-in-exchange-for-publicity”… I guess some might see it that way. Or you could just simply say that I’m one of the founders, an investor and an advisor.
Mike,
Thanks for the clarification. I’ve updated the post. For the record, I do read your blog every day and still had no idea what your official relationship was to WallStrip. Thanks for clearing that up and congratulations on the deal!
Jon
no problem Jon
