Like has been acquired by Google.

Since 2006, Like.com has been moving the frontiers of eCommerce forward one step at a time. We were the first to bring visual search to shopping, the first to build an automated cross-matching system for clothing, and more. We didn't stop there, and don't have plans to stop now. We see joining Google as a way to supersize our vision and supercharge our passion. This is something we are truly excited about.


Along the way we built a team that was not just hard working bus obsessed with the mission at hand. We are so very proud of this team, and they deserve all the credit for how far we have come. In addition, there are many folks outside the company who have been pivotal to our success. All the Like.com alumni are incredible folks who left our little company better than they found it. Our investors were patient, insightful, and supportive of our plans to build a bigger platform. Our merchant partners were cutting edge and innovation, and in many cases they were willing to try new approaches and new technologies to better the user experience.

Creating a startup is like painting an Impressionist canvas: on the one hand you try and reflect what the world looks like, and on the other you try and enrich - and maybe even change it with your creation. I think we achieved a little bit of both at Like.com

Sincerely,

Munjal
