It’s a terrible article, but I wasn’t aware that they were bought.
This is very expensive R&D, and being bought out by the FAANG is one of the very few positive outcomes for a hardware startup. Hopefully they did it for the money.

iirc North did not make any money off the aquisition, as they were failing and Google bought them out for roughly the amount of capital previously invested.
