Did Weebly get bought by Square?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 4:48 am

According to various sources, including CNBC and The Verge, Weebly has been sold to Square, Inc. for a reported $120 million.

This acquisition falls in line with Square’s recent trend of investing in startUPS with a focus on e-commerce. Given that Weebly is known for its easy-to-use website builder, this acquisition could prove to be a valuable addition to Square’s portfolio.

While no official announcement has been made, it seems likely that this acquisition will be completed in the near future. With this in mind, it’s worth taking a closer look at Weebly’s history and what makes it such a valuable asset for Square.

PRO TIP: There is currently no confirmation that Weebly has been bought by Square, so this may be a hoax. Be cautious of any emails or messages you receive about this until it is officially confirmed.

Weebly was founded in 2006 by two friends, Matt Mullenweg and Jeremy Liew. The company quickly gained a following for its easy-to-use website builder, and by 2012 it had processed over $50 million in website sales.

In 2013, Weebly was acquired by Adobe for an undisclosed amount.

Given that Weebly has a proven track record of success, it’s likely that Square will continue to grow and improve the product. This acquisition could prove to be a valuable addition to Square’s portfolio, as it provides the company with an easy-to-use website builder that has a strong following.
