Acquihired, for those who dont know is the process of getting hired into a company by virtue of a product/service that was built, as opposed to the product/service being acquired by the hiring company.
Sam odio might be a good example. He was a founder of divvyshot (YC 2009 i think), got 'acquihired' by facebook. Last i heard, he recently quit facebook? <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2011/06/15/sam-odio-facebook/" rel="nofollow">http://techcrunch.com/2011/06/15/sam-odio-facebook/</a><p>(ot: typing on the ipad in bed isn't as easy as i'd like it to be)
