Three Programmers Turned a Dating Website into a $1.65B Product in 2 Years
- rmason 4y agoThis is a perfect example to offer VC's when they say why should I give you money to complete in a market with both Google and Microsoft? But there was one more reason they succeeded. They let people upload movies and TV shows where Google and Microsoft has software that prevented that from happening. YouTube for awhile was the second coming of Napster, but for video. It allowed them to get real popular, really fast. People often ask why did they sell so soon? They sold to Google because they were being sued to death. Google's deep pockets allowed them to negotiate a solution and get technology in place to fix this problem.
