Carta is in a totally different business, they have no interest in the Kik brand/software/etc. All Carta did was bulk hire many of the people from Kik to bootstrap their KW office.

The other company is buying the Kik app / other intellectual property, but obviously plans to mostly just monetize the product as it exists rather than develop it further, given they're not getting any employees. The 19 employees they referenced are the ones staying with the Kik company, which will be the "elite team" they talked about staying to work on Kin.
