		brackin on April 10, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why Did Yahoo Buy Summly? I think Summly was really started by SRI or at least co-founded by them and then the exec team was brought on to run it. They created the tech, put Nick as the CEO/face of the company as he had previously built/outsourced Trimit & tried to build a consumer startup on it. There seems to be very little distinction between SRI and Summly.

I think Trimmit originally received investment from a hong Kong vc. Then seeked out sri to improve the product at which point they got deeply involved.

I don't think sri seeked out trimmit.
