Barcelona startup eConozco bought by Xing

Many congratulations to Toni and his team at eConozco for selling their company! Seems like a smart move to me. eConozco is a Spanish business networking website, and this sector seems to be evolving to an environment with just a handful of very large, well capitalized players such as LinkedIn or eConozco's buyers, Xing (formerly called OpenBC). I first met Toni after stumbling upon another website his company operates, the delightful pricenoia. We met for a coffee soon after, and have kept in touch on and off over the last couple of years, following each other's progress. One thing that makes me happy to see this successful exit is that Toni and his team are self-funded and self-made. Now, they'll be able to focus more on their latest project, a mobile social network called festuc, which is taking off among young Spanish kids. Congrats!
