There was an acqui-hire of sorts at Pinterest, as about 15 people from now-defunct mobile advertising startup URX are joining the social network.

Re/code reported that URX co-founder and CEO John Milinovich is joining Pinterest as a product manager, and other former URX employees are following suit, being added to the social network’s product engineering, product management and partnerships teams.

Milinovich said in a blog post:
