TECHi's Take
Content discovery service StumbleUpon is announcing that it has acquired 5by, a video startup based in Montreal.
The financial terms of the deal aren’t being disclosed, but the companies say the entire six-person 5by team will be moving to San Francisco to work out of StumbleUpon’s headquarters, where it will continue to develop 5by as a standalone product — so this isn’t just a talent acquisition.
