The initial reports from the Valley were breathless: upstart digital health company led by accomplished and charismatic design-focused entrepreneur (Forbes 30 under 30; 2012 invitee to exclusive Founders Fund Hawaii retreat) was acquired for “tens of millions of dollars,” according to the (original) TechCrunch headline, conservatively reflecting a 10x return to the company’s gold-plated VC investors. Exultant congratulatory tweets (including from partners at some of these VCs) were joyfully exchanged. Another Silicon Valley success story.
