Well, Ben Chestnut and Dan Kurzius (who famously funded Mailchimp via their personal credit cards, telling me and others that they had taken no outside investment or debt) probably can now afford to buy everybody in Atlanta a burger at the Vortex (as they kindly did for for me once upon a time, years ago). From TechCruch: “Intuit confirmed persistent rumors that it was in the process of buying Mailchimp, detailing a $12 billion transaction that will bring the well-known email infra company to its corporate remit.” Find the press release here.
