Oracle to buy mValent
People who follow me on twitter already know this, but yesterday Oracle announced its intention to acquire mValent, the company I helped start in 2002. Congratulations to all involved! We built a great team, then a great product, then made our customers successful with that product. As with any startup, there was always a gap between what we wanted to do and what we could do given our resources. As part of Oracle, mValent is going to be able to close that gap in a huge way.
