Dutch software startup MessageBird has agreed to takeover video-calling technology company 24sessions and data-management firm Hull, after a surge in demand for online video services during the pandemic.
MessageBird Chief Executive Officer Robert Vis declined to say how much his company paid for either of the targets, but said it’d spent more than half of the $200 million it raised from venture capital firms in October on acquisitions. In December MessageBird also bought London-based Pusher in a deal worth about $35 million.
