The word "exit" has totally changed its meaning over the last 6 months.
bhousel
how so?

It used to mean 'acquired company, including userbase, products, revenue streams etc'.

Now it means 'hired team and shutdown previous company'.

I respectfully disagree. Exits have always had the potential to go that way..

If someone is smart enough to figure a EULA that guarantees end-users that the site can't shutdown in such "exits", I'm interested.

anyone know or have good estimate of Movity's exit price?

The phrase "Exit, pursued by a bear" seems strangely appropriate

Don't forget Motorola acquiring Zecter.

Congrats to them. Corporate debt is currently dirt cheap, I expect we'll see a lot more exits rolling through in the coming year, if for no other reason. (The teams are good too, obviously).
