The transaction could turn Twitter into a ‘super-app’ that offers multiple functions, including payments

Twitter made its first deal under Elon Musk, with the acquisition of Laskie, a job search tech startup, according to a report by Axios.

Founded in 2021, the San Francisco-based Laskie has focused on recruiting. Previously, Founder and CEO Chris Bakke sold another startup to the online job board Indeed.

According to the report, Laskie’s website now says the service is ‘no longer available’.

Laskie raised $6 million in total funding, as per PitchBook.

Twitter is paying in cash and stock, the Axios report said, citing an unnamed source. While the exact price couldn’t be learned, the source said it was in the “tens of millions.”

Axios said Twitter did not immediately respond to Axios’ request for comment beyond its standard automated reply.

On Friday, Musk announced the hiring of NBC Universal executive Linda Yaccarino as the social network’s new CEO.
