Two 15- and 16-year olds have sold a digital yearbook site they founded 6 years ago for $100 million, MSNBC reported.
In 2005, Catherine Cook and her brother David had an idea for a startup. The high schoolers flipped through a yearbook and wanted to make a digital version. They got to work and created MyYearbook.
Over the six-year span, the duo raised $17 million in financing and grew the site to 20 million users, generating 1.2 billion monthly page views.
A publicly traded Latino social network, Quepasa, Wednesday announced its $100 million acquisition of MyYearbook. The majority of the deal, $82 million, is Quepasa common stock. The other $18 million is cash. （點擊MSNBC網站查看原文）
