Tech Event Twiistup Gets Acquired By Private Investor

imageL.A.-based tech and digital media event Twiistup has been bought out by a private investor. Terms were not disclosed, but founder Mike Macadaan will continue on in a creative consulting role; business consultant and entrepreneur Francisco Dao will serve as the event’s new producer.

Founded in 2007, L.A.-based VC firms like the Mailroom Fund have scoped out startups like Mint.com and family-focused online community TotSpot at the hybrid mixer/startup showoff event. Macadaan said Twiistup had served to “galvanize the SoCal tech community,” though, the new owner plans to scale it out to a full conference and expand to other cities. Release.
