List of mergers and acquisitions by Facebook
Facebook is a social networking company. Each acquisition is for the respective company in its entirety, unless otherwise specified. The acquisition date listed is the date of the agreement between Facebook and the subject of the acquisition. The value of each acquisition is listed in US dollars because Facebook's headquarters is in the United States. If the Facebook service that is derived from the acquired company is known, then it is also listed here.
Facebook has acquired more than 50 companies, including WhatsApp. The acquisition of WhatsApp costs $19 billion, more than $40 per WhatsApp user. It also purchased the defunct company ConnectU in a court settlement and acquired intellectual property formerly held by rival Friendster. The majority of the companies acquired by Facebook are based in the United States, and in turn, a large percentage of these companies are based in or around the San Francisco Bay Area. Facebook has also made investments in LuckyCal and Wildfire Interactive.
Most of Facebook's acquisitions have been 'talent acquisitions' and acquired products are often shut-down. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has stated that "We have not once bought a company for the company. We buy companies to get excellent people... In order to have a really entrepreneurial culture one of the key things is to make sure we're recruiting the best people. One of the ways to do this is to focus on acquiring great companies with great founders."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Why Facebook buys startups )〕 The Instagram acquisition, announced on 2012-04-09, appears to be the first exception to this pattern.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Facebook buys Instagram for $1 billion )〕
