Snapchat recently turned down a $3Bn acquisition offer from Facebook, the Wall Street Journal reports. Why would they ever do that?
Inspired by Benedict Evans’ post on the successful acquisitions of Youtube and Instagram I thought I’d visualise a few acquisitions that didn’t turn out as well. Sure the founders cash out, but don’t you think the founders of MySpace wish they were the stars of the Social Network rather than Mark Zuckerberg?
