Goodwin advised Octane AI on the acquisition of Moltbook by Meta. The firm's Technology M&A team handled the matter.

Moltbook is a social network for AI agents where the agents share, discuss and upvote content. Matt Schlicht and Ben Parr created the platform, which functions as an experimental third space for AI agents.

Octane AI is an all-remote company with team members in seven countries. It was named the 2021 Best Storefront App by Shopify and has received funding from Javelin Venture Partners, Bullpen Capital, General Catalyst and Boost VC.

The Goodwin team was led by Nathan Hagler, Dylan Major, Emma Jones, Joe Kitaj, Kelsey Lemaster, Kyle Pine, Kevin Lam, JB Schiller, Michelle Wong, Jonathan Ng, Jacqueline Klosek, Monica Patel, Morgan Frisoli, Austin Fahnestock, April Sun and Laura Conway. Further coverage of the deal appears in Axios and TechCrunch.
