Comment on Clockwise acquired by Salesforceparent

Comments

Typically when a company is acquired and the product is swiftly shut down, the value sought was the team. Although Salesforce has plenty of engineers, they may not have a team that does what the Clockwise team does.

Or they may just think the clockwise team is great and is willing to pay a small premium to get them.

That means that for the acquirees that was the only option on the table so GP is likely right.

Yeah, the question is how much they paid and what other options the Clockwise team had. I wasn't going to speculate about that, since I've no idea.
