Every startup hub is overhyped compared to Silicon Valley, but a $100-$200 million exit for a todo list app maker certainly makes it slightly less over-hyped.
$100-$200 million!? I'm dumbfounded with this. How many users did the app have? Granted it's a more than a TODO list. But it looks like an exorbitant amount of money for it.
I imagine a good chunk of that value is being placed on the team they acquired. They're a proven mobile dev shop with a well recognized name in an "up and coming" Berlin startup scene, who already have a major success under their belts. I'm also sure a sizeable percentage of the amount isn't cash but options with 2-4 year vesting periods. edit: also often the team salaries over the course of that period are included in the amount.

> And oh crap, one of my favorite startup quotes was "Nobody got rich making a Todo list App." That is in danger of being falsified :-) Ehh, Yahoo bought Astrid a while ago and closed it. The price wasn't announced, but I imagine they did well. My heart still pangs for the long-dead Astrid app, and I'm just that much less likely to use any Yahoo service because of that murder.
You may be interested in "Tasks", an open source replacement for Astrid. I don't believe it does everything Astrid did, but it has worked wonderfully for my needs. https://github.com/tasks/tasks https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tasks
There is also http://mirakel.azapps.de/ , a fork of Astrid

I remember after their initial success with the free app they took investment, and were valued at about $50m (2010?). Then they tried to ship an enterprise product but it never got any traction. They refocused on the Wunderlist again.

#96Microsoft is quickly acquiring an impressive suite of apps.

Offtopic: Speaking about Microsoft, I just noticed a "Windows 10" advertisement in my Windows 7 taskbar next to the clock. Windows update silently installs and launches new applications (two executable) and one of them comes with enabled Telemetry. 23MB big ad-program is located in C:\Windows\System32\GWX\. Check your Windows 7/8 taskbar. Source: http://venturebeat.com/2015/05/31/microsoft-starts-prompting... https:/…
Also offtopic, but everybody really should be brushing twice a day, for a full 2 minutes each time. And flossing.
First floss, then brush. Spend 30 seconds in each quadrant and be sure to get the molars in the back.
Don't brush immediately after drinking acidic things like soda.

#100Congrats to the Wunderlist team. And oh crap, one of my favorite startup quotes was "Nobody got rich making a Todo list App." That is in danger of being falsified :-) It is interesting to consider Microsoft's putative strategy here which is that the mobile "OS" is still searching for the right mix of capabilities to completely replace laptops.
I'm really interested to see what their plan is after also acquiring Sunrise recently. It seems like they're not actually changing these services much, and I'm fascinated to see how they actually integrate them with their businesses.
While not always the case, microsoft seems to be going down a rare acquisition path: actually integrating the acquired company into their offerings.
A case in point is Acompli. It was an android app that I absolutely love and after Microsoft acquired them, I was scared that they will discontinue the app but they simply rebranded the Acompli app as the Microsoft Outlook for Android app and only did minor tweaks to the application.
I wouldn't be surprise if they integrate all their recent acquisitions into a full PDA-suite of applications for your mobile.
