WeWork bought Meetup for $200 million end of 2017. I do not think any details were disclosed this time, but I guess the consortium paid way less.
It worries me that the Pro subscriptions are growing so much. Seems Meetup wants to focus on the enterprise market. Pro subscription are much, much more expensive than normal ones and do not offer many benefits for a normal organizor. Only if you want to target your group members outside of Meetup.
