I was quite surprised to see the acquisition! I think they never found PMF because they pivoted upmarket and were trying to do too many things.

Even though I'm not a customer of June, I've always rooted for them from the sidelines. They were a different kind of YC company; these days, you only see AI slop companies coming out of YC.

Seems like the founders lost hope in it and probably sold it to Amplitude to have a soft landing instead of a complete crash and burn. Since both are YC companies, i think this was an internal nudge towards a sale. But can't say for sure, i think the founders will share what truly happened in a few years once they're contract expires. Anyways, good luck to the founders!
