This is exactly the kind of acquisition that can help drive even more adoption of a service since it&#x27;s obvious to users how the two companies complement each other.<p>This is also one of the very few acquisitions where I&#x27;ve read &quot;[acquirer&#x27;s] vision sits well with ours...&quot; and not had to scratch my head and figure out why.<p>Congrats on a great pairing and sorry that we&#x27;re losing Simon and Nat to the US.

Side project on their honeymoon??? That must be the geekiest thing that I have ever heard.

Congratulations as all have said, and also some excitement, as this seems like a well-matched pair of services. I am very optimistic for the outcome of this acquisition&#x2F;collaboration. Best of luck to all involved!

Simon and Natalie, and all the team, congratulations on your continued rise of success. Yours has always felt like one of the most human and utterly useful services out there; long may it be so. Enjoy the new phase.

Great news for Lanyrd and Eventbrite, hope they can use the Lanyrd team to fix their horrendous platform! So much potential.

Congratulations, guys! This seems like a really natural fit. The slidedeck was a thoughtful touch to explain it, too. :)

A successful YCombinator exit. Congrats guys. Will miss you from London. When&#x27;s the party? ;-)

Maybe we&#x27;ll finally get an API!

My guess is this is a ~$10 million acquisition. Not too shabby for a 3 year old startup.

Congrats to the team, both on the acquisition and being acquired by a great company.

Why founders sell it so early ? If you want to sell it so early why start in the first place ?
