Stuzo acquired by Dachis Group

Stuzo, the Fairmount-based Facebook application development shop has been acquired by the Dachis Group according to Techcrunch and a message from Stuzo founder Gunther Pfau to Technically Philly.
Pfau declined to disclose any details but said that he will continue to helm Stuzo and the company will remain in the city as an operating unit of Dachis.
“We’re looking to bring on board more technical, project management, and account talent,” said Pfau.
Stuzo started in 2005 as a platform for college students to trade textbooks and other goods at Temple University before pivoting to become one of the first developers on the Facebook Application platform.
“It didn’t completely gain traction,” admitted Pfau in a video interview last year.”We really made a decision overnight … to change gears.”
The company began building apps like MyHeritage before focusing more on promotions for other brands like Coca-Cola and Proctor and Gamble, quickly becoming one of the largest Facebook development shops in the country.
The Dachis Group, based in Austin, is a “social business consultancy” with many of same clients as Stuzo.
