This is to be expected. Typically in any acquisition, but especially a tech start up, the acquired company's top brass will stay on during the transition until all the dust settles. Then they either move on of their own accord, or are asked to leave. Usually the former. It doesn't mean anything (good or bad) for the company as a whole. They got their money, and now they want to move on to the next project, instead of withering in the corporate morass of the larger company.
