Surprised the exit happens at the relatively low price of $200M [1]. Klout had about 500 million users from what I understand. While monetisation might have been tough with deals, Klout got so much data. So much talk of &#x27;big data&#x27; but it does not seem to be worth so much... or was there some founder fatigue at play here after almost 6 years of existence?<p>[1] <a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/company/klout" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.crunchbase.com&#x2F;company&#x2F;klout</a>
