Color had 5 photos posted at WWDC this morning
We were in line with thousands of active iPhone users this morning for WWDC and Color had 5 photos posted in the vicinity of the Moscone.
Is this what 41M in Series A is worth?
...pop.
- mikl 15y agoA tragic waste. I could do a lot of cool stuff with $41M.
- sawyer 15y agoThe question is; why can't/aren't they? What are they using the money for?
- bradendouglass 15y agoMVP out the door and in the hands of us early adopty-type folks and then work to make a much "better" (whatever this means in your mind) product? It's what I would do.
- cbetta 15y agoTo be fair this is what Color thinks their MVP is....
- zbanks 15y agoIf you really think you can: pitch. Don't just complain that other people are getting the money.
- jhugg 15y agoMaybe the point was that there are a lot cooler ways to piss away 41m than taking 5 photos at WWDC. Perhaps few of them would sound interesting to a VC though.
- mikl 15y agoI'd much rather bootstrap than take VC money – but that’s beside the point. If Color ends up burning through $41M doing another failed social service (which seems likely), no one wins, and stories like these cast doubt on the whole startup economy.
- ry0ohki 15y agoAre they officially marketing it yet? The only reason I've even heard about it was the funding.
- cmgarcia 15y agoEh, I don't think _how_ they're getting the word out is as important as the word _is_ out, and that instance at WWDC is a bit scary.
- pohl 15y agoI'm sitting inside in line right now. What is Color? I'll check it out.
- krisrak 15y agoCompare that to instagram, 1000s of pics posted already: http://www.gramfeed.com/instagram/tags/wwdc?view=grid http://www.gramfeed.com/instagram/tags/wwdc?view=grid
- vladiim 15y agoIt's not a nail int the coffin by any means but you would think it would make strategic sense for them to be making a concerted effort to get people using their service at a conference like WWDC ala Twitter/Foursquare... big missed opportunity to get influential people using their service.
