Kwaga Acquires Boxcar To Use Push Notifications In Attention Management

notification_promoWe've been watching Kwaga grow since we first saw them pitch in Paris about 4 years ago. Then it was a system to improve your experience of Gmail, but gradually they found it was contacts that people needed help with. So duly Kwaga pivoted into automatically updating your address book so you didn't have to. Thus, WriteThat.name is Kwaga's very useful service. And now the company looks set to expand into notifications after announcing it has acquired the Boxcar.io service.Terms and the price have not been undisclosed but Kwaga Founder Philippe Laval confirmed to us that the deal was a mixture of cash and shares. Kwaga says they will will keep the service running and improve on it. Jonathan George, founder of Boxcar, will join Kwaga as advisor. Boxcar raised $150k this past March to create a service for developers.
