I haven't researched all the details regarding Facebook's purchase of Instagram a while back, but I do know that Instagram did not have revenue, did not have a plan to generate revenue, and that Facebook paid $1 billion for it nonetheless. I also understand that it's quite a task to get ~30 million people to download your app, even if it's free. And I know it's a little late and doesn't really matter anymore, but...
I think Facebook could have easily thrown $100 million at the founders--and they would have sold.
Thoughts?
