GoPro has been acquired and is getting into ‘defense, government, robotics and aerospace’

GoPro was acquired by Starman Holding for $285 million in cash, which the buyer describes as a merger. Founder-CEO Nick Woodman now positions the company as a “leading American imaging and optical solutions” firm expanding into defense, government, robotics and aerospace markets. YouTuber Mark “Markiplier” Fischbach became GoPro’s largest shareholder shortly before the transaction.
