500px Acquires French iOS Appmaker Pulpfingers To Beef Up European Presence
500px, the Toronto-based startup known for its slick photo sharing site, has already come a long way toward being the darling of the digital photo buff set here in North America. In 2013, the company is setting its sights on conquering Europe.To that end, 500px tells TechCrunch it just acquired Pulpfingers, a Strasbourg, France-based startup that makes iOS apps. It's mainly an acqui-hire deal, which we're told was an all-stock transaction -- Pulpfingers' two man founding team of David Charlec and Jerome Scheer will continue to operate the Pulpfingers app for the next several months as they transition to full-time roles working on the 500px platform. They'll be spending lots of time in Toronto in the coming months, but will ultimately keep their base in France as a European outpost of 500px.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/pJUGfo4pOlM/
