That’s different then actually saying that a particular company would want to buy company X.

In many examples of the companies you’ve listed above and in the first post to this, there doesn’t seem any reason for them to be bought out at all.

If a start-up doesn’t have a large established usebase (many don’t like Edgio, Zopa, Yub) or have easily copy-able business logic then there’s little point in them being bought out.

GYM might as well just set their own up instead.

I’m not disagreeing with you on many of them, but it would be interested to hear some thoughts on _why_ these companies are worth buying.

Nice list, though.

Cheers
