From our front-page news:
We linked to a rumor yesterday, one that claimed AGEIA had been acquired. Not surprisingly, it has already been debunked. According to X-bit labs, AGEIA is denying any acquisition and boldly states that they have a road map in place and plan to follow it.
AGEIA is currently owned by a conglomerate of venture capitalists, and a sale doesn't seem to make sense right now. But is that the case? AGEIA seems to be in a prime position for being acquired, especially since Intel took in Havok under its arms. Of course, maybe AGEIA has more to prove, more in store to help drive up their value. Perhaps no sale is in place now, but it would be hard to believe if something doesn't happen within the next year.

Currently Ageia is owned by a group of investors, including Apex Venture Partners, BA Venture Partners, HIG Ventures, Granite Global Ventures, CID Equity Partners, and VentureTech Alliance. Typically such companies are interested in either selling their startups to others, or making them public. However, this time Ageia denies any ownership change.
