AC-T: Asheville firm part of largest tech deal in WNC history

Here’s an excerpt from the Asheville Citizen-Times article:

The $65-million acquisition of downtown-based DoctorDirectory by Everyday Health of New York is believed to be the largest tech-company transaction of its kind in Western North Carolina history, said Josh Dorfman, Asheville Chamber of Commerce director of entrepreneurship development.

“A deal like this boosts confidence across our startup community,” Dorfman said of the purchase that became final on Wednesday. “It encourages our entrepreneurs to think bigger, expand their vision and set loftier goals.”
