Not sure how big ig was on acquisition, but I always remember that story being about WhatsApp with only 35 engineers


Business Insider ran a story about them at the point of acquisition.

April 9, 2012 "Instagram was acquired by Facebook today for $1 billion in cash and stock. It only has 13 employees and a handful of investors. ... Meet 11 of the lucky employees and 9 investors behind Instagram. ... Two other employees were hired during South by Southwest last month and their information wasn't available for this story. "
