Thank HN: My bootstrapped startup got acquired today
Hello HN,<p>I'm Paras Chopra, founder of VWO. We're an A/B testing platform that was born here as a Show HN in 2009: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=876141">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=876141</a><p>Today, I sold the company to a private equity firm for $200mn.<p>It's covered on TechCrunch: <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/23/everstone-acquires-bootstrapped-indian-startup-wingify-for-200m/" rel="nofollow">https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/23/everstone-acquires-bootstr...</a><p>I was a 22 year old fresh graduate when I launched VWO on HN and got initial users.

I honestly don't think I would have been an entrepreneur had it not been for hacker news.<p>Every single day, HN is the first website I open! I'm feeling very grateful towards the community. Thanks @dang, and thank you Paul Graham for your essays and for creating this beautiful corner of the internet!
