There are 2 competing offers to buy the company, as I know of. One from OVH founder Octave Klaba, the other from JB Kempf, of VLC fame. So no, I don't think it should go out of business - in the short term.
- ianwalter 5y agoThanks for clarifying. Seems like a lot of companies in this space (at least the ones geared towards gaming) have had to pivot.
- airstrike 5y agoLooks like JB Kempf is the Shadow CTO It's one great piece of tech, so I'm not surprised he'd be interested in trying to turn it around
- np32 5y agoFrom JB Kempf of VLC, and supported by Xavier Niel who is a huge VC in France and founder of Free, which totally disrupted the ISP mafia in France. This video is a great interview of JB + story of Shadow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0c1CJT8X8A&t=20s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0c1CJT8X8A&t=20s
- bleuarff 5y agoThanks for the additional info, I had forgotten Niel was the backer.
