Google
has just announced that it has acquired AdMob , the mobile ad platform that has
been especially popular on the iPhone, for $750 million. This is a big win for
the company’s early investors, which include Sequoia Capital and Accel
Partners (this is a huge day for Accel — they were also investors in
Playfish, which was just acquired by EA). More recent investors include DFJ and
Northgate Capital.
