In the middle of January, we were approached by an extremely big multi-national corporate about possibly acquiring WooThemes. It was only a preliminary meeting for the company to guage our interest in a possible deal, but the figures and details were pretty concrete. Without mentioning any figures, I can however divulge that offer was very lucrative and it made us think twice. BUT – I believe we made the correct decision in declining the offer, based on quite a few business / personal reasons.
The main positive to come out of the meeting though, was the fact that we were obviously moving in a direction, where we have a much more mainstream appeal and audience. So to pursue this, we have decided to add 2 members to our core development team… WooThemers, please meet and say welcome to FRESH01 & Foxinni.
I have known both of these guys for quite some time now and we’ve been working together on custom design / development projects at Radiiate.
