# Survey says…! SurveyMonkey scoops up Wufoo for $35 million

[SurveyMonkey](http://surveymonkey.com "SurveyMonkey")—the nearly ubiquitous go-to service for online surveys—is one of *those* companies. You know, the ones who are quietly successful. Who don’t make much ruckus. And who—prior to its sale to a private equity consortium in April 2009—just happened to be [headquartered in Portland, Oregon](http://siliconflorist.com/2009/06/30/oregon-portland-17-projects-silicon-forest-cred-deserve/ "They’re in Oregon? 17+ projects that don’t get the Silicon Forest cred they deserve").

They’ve still got an office here. So when they do something, we take notice. And they did a little something today. [SurveyMonkey acquired the AJAX-y online form goodness that is Wufoo.](http://blog.surveymonkey.com/2011/04/wufoo/ "Welcome Wufoo")

“Wufoo is the market leader in online form creation and a perfect fit for SurveyMonkey,” said Dave Goldberg, SurveyMonkey CEO, in a [press release](http://www.surveymonkey.com/PressRelease04252011.aspx "Leader in online surveys adds leader in online forms to expand services for customers"). “From the product and business model, to the team and culture, we are absolutely delighted to welcome the company into the SurveyMonkey family and look forward to increasing the reach and scale of an already outstanding product through our platform.”

Kara Swisher at All Things D is [reporting the acquisition to be in the range of $35 million](http://kara.allthingsd.com/20110425/surveymonkey-buys-online-forms-start-up-wufoo-for-35-million/ "SurveyMonkey Buys Online Forms Start-Up Wufoo for $35 Million").

> While the terms of the transaction for the Tampa, Fla.-based Infinity Box–makers of Wufoo–were not disclosed, sources said the price was $35 million in cash and stock.

[Wufoo](http://wufoo.com "Wufoo") is—needlessly to say—a tad excited as well. So much so, that they’ve created a [Rampage inspired FAQ](http://wufoo.com/surveymonkey-wufoo-faq/ "SurveyMonkey+Wufoo FAQ") to celebrate the monkey mascot and dinosaur mascot coming together.

For more information on the acquisition, read the [SurveyMonkey press release](http://www.surveymonkey.com/PressRelease04252011.aspx "SurveyMonkey acuqires Wufoo"), the [SurveyMonkey blog post](http://blog.surveymonkey.com/2011/04/wufoo/ "Welcome Wufoo"), and the [Wufoo blog post](http://wufoo.com/2011/04/25/wufoo-surveymonkey-acquisition/ "Holy Donkey Kong! SurveyMonkey Acquires Wufoo!").
