Yo Dog! Wanna Buy Digg?

posted on October 25, 2006


TechCrunch believes Digg is close to closing around $5m in second round financing soon, as the company has failed to find a buyer willing to pay their asking price.

…Digg has been in recent acquisition discussions with a number of companies, including News Corp., according to multiple sources close to the negotiations. However, the company was unable to land an offer in the price range they’re looking for – at least $150 million – and will likely close a Series B round of financing instead.

If they get $150m, that would be a nice increase on the $30m Yahoo was rumored to be offering back in January.

    Does anyone know how much they received in their first round of funding? How many employees do they currently have? I’d hate to be the man/woman turning down $30 mill. and returning $0 to my investors! I can feel the tension all the way in Ohio!

    Digg is a mystery to me… I use it but only for marketing. It is hard to beleive that people actually use this for fun. $150 million sounds decent to me and actually cheap when you think of what myspace went for a few years ago.
