		Geekette on May 1, 2017 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Angie's List Acquired for $500M by IAC For a split second, I misread the headline as IAC buying AngelList and my brain went "whoa!", wondering why that crew sold to IAC of all organizations, what this meant for angel investing, what chaos would ensue, etc. Then I blinked and re-read the headline with relief.

Yeah, I read this as well. And I was really confused, because IAC owns Match and a ton of dating company properties.

Exactly my reaction so you are not alone. I thought "What! AngelList got resold"
