Zoom announced this morning that it has acquired Keybase, a startup with encryption expertise. It did not reveal the purchase price.
Keybase, which has been building encryption products for several years including secure file sharing and collaboration tools, should give Zoom some security credibility as it goes through pandemic demand growing pains.
Terry Ganer, chapter 36’s CPA seat was intimately involved in the sale negotiations–up until 11p the night before the sale. Terry describes the last three weeks since the talks started as “stressful, amazing, exciting, and eye-opening. I had never been part of a start-up from inception to sale to a listed company.”
Terry also gives a HUGE HUGE HUGE BNI shout-out to Mr. Sean Mathey. “Sean referred me to the founders of Keybase (for a different project) back in 2013. I am forever grateful for that. Thank you @Sean Mathey”
