I invested in etacts which didn't get very far, so I ended up passing on Rapportive. Wonder if I made a mistake.


At this point it looks like you might have answered your own question.


Not all acquisitions are good for investors.


Based on numbers from TechCrunch, looks like investors got a 3.75x.

According to TC: Rapportive raised 1M on 3M pre and got acquired for 15M.


I still miss Etacts and would miss Rapportive in a similar way, I hope the two early exits will inspire a new take.


I love the idea.

Early exits are not necessarily a positive (or negative) sign.
