I heard Tinder was originally going to be a coupon app before they pivoted.

  Twitter was a side project that took over the office.

    While booting one of the original cofounders, Noah, who had the Twitter alpha code on his laptop at the time. Ruthless.

      Noah then formed a new startup; Olo, a white label delivery platform for restaurants. It’s publicly-traded and worth $3B! https://www.olo.com/ https://www.olo.com/ https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/olo/ https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/olo/

        He made it out! You made my day. Nah. My month! The backstabbing and minimizing and rewriting of history that happened with him and Twitter is such a trigger for me lol. Edit: Unfortunately, that’s a different Noah Glass. Olo was founded in 2005. Noah was working for Odeo in 2005-2006. We can only imagine what the other cofounders would’ve done to Olo based on how he was thrown out of Odeo/Twitter.

          Oh no! It’s actually not the same Noah Glass, even though I’ve thought so for years, damn. Thanks for pointing that out.
