$2mm to an infographic company - how do they expect to make a return? I have no clue what goes through VCs heads sometimes - I guess they get caught up in hype.
Speaking of hyped companies - what has happened to qwiki, quora, turntable.fm and shaker?
- brador 15y agoDon't forget color.com. What was it, like 15 million or something?
- steve-howard 15y agoThis article says $41 million: http://techcrunch.com/2011/03/23/color-looks-to-reinvent-social-interaction-with-its-mobile-photo-app-and-41-million-in-funding/ http://techcrunch.com/2011/03/23/color-looks-to-reinvent-soc...
- aaronbrethorst 15y agoTurntable is blowing up, in a good way, as near as I can tell. They closed their 'B' round a couple months ago: http://disrupt.techcrunch.com/SF2011/2011/09/13/turntable-fm-closes-that-7-million-round-fred-wilson-joins-board/ http://disrupt.techcrunch.com/SF2011/2011/09/13/turntable-fm...
- suking 15y agoReally - how do they plan on making $? Who would buy them? I don't know anyone besides VCs and a few friends that used it while it was getting all the hype. Now I know nobody that uses it now that the fad is over.
