Stealth Mode Startups That Got Acquired
By siliconindia
Walletin
Walletin was started by Cory Ondrejka and Bruce Rogers and the experience and talent of the co-founders became the reason for its acquisition by Facebook. Facebook acquired the company while it was still in its stealth mode. Where Cory was formerly the CTO of Linden Labs, Bruce was a coder for Atari. While the company was still in the initial phase, they got calls from big Silicon Valley companies. But, when they met with Facebook, they found their ideas fitting more into it.
