Lets be honest - they agreed to pay the bills, take over the business and hire 5 people...not exactly an

"acquisition"

Do you remember
the SmartDate

How much does the IAC plan to pay for HowAboutWe?

It seems VC investors agreed to show a big success, and no more failures.
They should show HowAboutWe as successfully sold to IAC, not closed as SmartDate or LikeIt!

Every time the IAC acquires a big online dating site, it is like if they were paying a bribery to the VC investor who had previously invested in that big online dating site.
