What was the per employee acquisition cost of WhatsApp (who had 50 employees, IIRC)?



When acquiring a telecommunications network, I suspect that network size (user count) is far more relevant for valuation, if anything, having a low employee count with a massive network like WhatsApp was probably a huge selling point.
