Connexity, the online price comparison and shopping company formerly known as Shopzilla, has agreed to acquire e-commerce aggregator Become.com.

TechCrunch reported the deal Thursday

Financial terms of the acquisition of Sunnyvale-based Become-com were not disclosed.

Become.com, founded by Michael Yang in 2004, had raised $37.2 million in funding from investors who include SV Angel, TPG and the European Founders Fund. Its CEO is Alex Terry and Yang is on the board.

Shopzilla, before it became Connexity, was founded in 1996, raised about $75 million and was acquired in 2011 by private equity firm Symphony Technology Group for $165 million.

Become.com was owned by Buydomains.com back in 2004 when they sold it for $20,000 according to Estibot.com
