Cnvrg.io scores another exit for Startup Nation.
Israeli startup Cnvrg.io has been acquire by Intel. But it is not clear yet how much Intel paid for the company.
There are conflicting reports, however, as to the price tag placed on the company. According to Calcalist the deal was for as much as $60 million. But others set the valuation of Cnvrg.io at as little as $17 million.
The company has to date raised $8 million from a Series A fundraising round. Based in Tel Aviv, it was co-founded by Yochay Ettun the company CEO and Leah Forkosh Kolben in 2016.
Intel says that it plans on keeping Cnvrg.io an independent entity rather than fold it into Intel’s own organization.
