- Failed Acquisition (Takeover)
- HeyKuya got acquired by YesBoss Group of Indonesia in March 2016, just five months after setting it up.
- The founder wanted to launch the app sooner rather than later. When they wanted to give their daily users more options to access ther services faster and easier but his hands were tied.
- According to the founder, the truth is, when you agree to sell your company, you agree to let go of the control that you have over such decisions.
- YesBoss Group Pte. Ltd. decided to cease operations of HeyKuya here in the Philippines as they get ready to march towards building an Artificial Intelligence platform using the data provided by HeyKuya.
Acquired by YesBoss Group of Indonesia in March 2016.
