37 Signals Gets Real with Jeff Bezos

The crew at 37 Signals have sold… er… part of 37 Signals! Check out the blog post over at SvN.

If they weren’t real enough, they now have a personal investment from Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos and his investment company.

Will this be the end of “Getting Real” and the 37 Signals philosophy? I don’t think so, but I am a little puzzled about the announcement. They’ve been apparently been fending off VC companies for a while; I guess they just got an offer they couldn’t refuse.

I have to say, if Jeff Bezos wanted to invest in our company I definitely wouldn’t say no!
