The Markup CEO Nabiha Syed's announcement:

I'm so thrilled to announce that CalMatters is acquiring The Markup in its entirety. The whole world is looking at California for both the innovation that comes out of Silicon Valley and the tech regulation that comes out of Sacramento. Bringing our data-driven approach to the deep CalMatters beats -- education, health, housing, AI -- is going to create change in California, the country, and the world.

What are either of these companies?

Nonprofit news organizations. The Markup has a very public-interest technology approach, and is most well-known for it's Blacklight tool.

IDK, I don't really look to Silicon Valley for innovation or tech regulation, other than what not to do. There is so much crap coming from there that I just generally try to avoid it.
