I hope Gabor is not going to compete with Xobni.

• prakash 18y ago
  I am sure he won't for multiple reasons: 1. There are multiple interesting, challenging, lucrative problems to be solved in the email field. Why would he want to try & solve what Xobni is doing? 2^. He probably had to sign some sort of document that says he can't compete directly with Xobni for X no of years 3^. He seems like a nice guy, and probably left the company on great terms with the co-founders ^ 2, 3 are pure speculation excluding the nice guy part

    Thanks man ... I think the most important thing is to solve relevant problems for real users. There are lots of email problems out there, and lots of people suffer from them. Most people I talk to can relate to this and can rattle off their top 5 frustrations with email. Plus, there are billions of people using email. Thus, there are many profitable companies to be built here.

      Good to hear Gabor, I raised the issue because it is unfortunately a common problem among startups. I can tell that you mean no harm. Good luck on your new projects.

    I thought the documents described in point 2, while common, never have any legal force.

      Not in CA, anyway. Other states I believe they still do.
