Today, we’re announcing that Divvyshot is the third company to raise money with AngelList. And the first AngelList-funded startup to be acquired — by Facebook no less. The AngelList investor is:
Richard Chen (Investor in Aardvark)
And Divvyshot was referred to us by an AngelList power broker:
Jamie Quint (Founder of Simple Condo)
Divvyshot also raised money from Y Combinator (in a previous round), Jim Young and Gabor Cselle. That’s a great list of investors. Soon after raising this round, Divvyshot was acquired by Facebook.
Update: Jolie O’Dell picks up this story for Mashable.
