Twitter has acquired startup Laskie, writes Axios. The purchase was the first deal since Elon Musk took over the social network. According to sources, the amount from him was “tens of millions.”
The company was founded in San Francisco in 2021 and provides a job search service. Earlier, Laskie founder Chris Bakke sold another of his projects to Indeed, an online job board. In 2021, Laskie raised $6 million, now the company’s website indicates that the service is unavailable.
According to the post, the acquisition serves Musk’s idea of turning Twitter into a “super app” with extensive functionality. Previous media reported that Elon Musk instructed Twitter’s director of product management team to develop a payment system within the social network. Last week, Twitter announced encrypted private messages.
Earlier, Elon Musk introduced the company’s new CEO. The CEO position will be filled by the former head of the advertising department at media company NBCUniversal.
