I just clicked on a ad I saw for them here and on the top it has tabs for: Shutterfly, Tinyprints, Wedding Paper Divas, Treat, Borrowlenses, and this life.


Did Borrowlenses get bought out?

It seems that way. It is possible that these companies are all associated with the same VC?

Looks like it must have been an off the books sale.  I would have thought with Shutterfly being a publicly traded company, there would be some record of sale price.  But I'm finding nothing.

"While specific financial aspects of the transaction were not disclosed, BorrowLenses' founders, Mark Gurevich and Max Shevyakov, will now become
part of Shutterfly under the terms of the new deal."

Very interesting, I wasn't aware that Shutterfly owned so many companies.
