How is this worth 100m?
- btowngar 7y agoI don't really see how your first sentence is related to the second!
- Kkoala 7y agoThey might not be related but the second one is a relevant question I think.
- alangibson 7y agoThis looks like a good example of investing in the founders, not in the business. The business is very WTF, but the article makes the founder sound like a known quantity.
- pedalpete 7y agoI'd suggest the reason for the valuation is exactly because we had this in the 90s (and earlier really) and it never made the transition to digital until now. So the market has somewhat been proven.
- zakki 7y agoMaybe they plan to ‘learn’ every voice submitted?
- alangibson 7y agoThis was basically my reaction, but the enabling tech is definitely not the same thing as the product. It seems like they're betting on the founders to find the right approach to make it an Instagram for voice (Instaphon?)
- tkinom 7y agoMaybe they have super high engagements per day - like twitter's early days?
