[...] Dan Kaplan over at Venture Beat asked Altschul why he went this route. Altschul’s explanations are a bit fuzzy. (Like: “the sale was originally intended to be private.” On a web forum?) He also claims the company is profitable, that they’re just trying to maximize value with this method of sale, and that his move is misunderstood. [...]

Still hard to believe they are selling so suddenly. I think box.net should pick them up as they are already spending loads on affiliate and ppc — they could gain much needed traffic from an acquisition the size of divshare.com . In the meantime, a great alternative to divshare.com is http://www.filebam.com and also http://www.zshare.net . Anyway, good luck with the sale David and team and look forward to your next project.

[...] VentureBeat sat down with DivShare co-founder David Altschul and asked him a few questions that clear up why they’re for sale and if there are any potential buyers.

We’ve talked to investors that are interested, but now there’s other projects we want to pursue and make sure DivShare has a proper home first.” [...]
