Anchor Intelligence Heading To The DeadPool After Facebook Acquisition Fell Apart –
Summary
Anchor Intelligence, a service that detects click fraud, is heading to the deadpool, we’ve confirmed with multiple sources. The company has been trying to raise a new round of venture capital and almost succeeded in early 2010, sources say, but for a variety of reasons the deal never closed. The deal, like many other Facebook acquisitions, would have given investors some of their capital back, with lucrative stock-based compensation going to founders and employees. With no new investors at hand and a couple of competitors like Click Forensics executing extremely well, the company’s investors and creditors made a hard decision, say our sources – shut things down and sell off the assets. CEO Ken Miller has also left the company, we’ve confirmed.
