Twitter acquires BackType (YC S08)
[ YC08 ]BackType has raised a total of $1.32m according to http://www.crunchbase.com/company/backtypeNo speculation as to the size of the acquisition, but I guess anything between $10-100m is possible, which would give YC a return of about 3% (6% adjusted down to 70% twice) of that, or somewhere between $300k and $3m?"YCombinator: turning $15k into $300k in 3 years"Not bad.Edit: This is based on the idea that BackType is successful, and had other options (which may not be the case, since their QuantCase/Compete graph is going down)... if they were about to go bust, the price could be considerably lower... but if they were doing well, I imagine investors would have blocked a sale lower than $10m.
