Its stuff like this that makes me very cynical about a big portion of the startup world. I admire companies that stick to their vision for the long haul and don't bow out because all of a sudden they don't have enough attention/passion/whatever. You'd think that if a party comes out stating huge ambitions and a big vision for fixing a problem, they'd have the determination to match the cause.
- drewjoh 14y agoI share similar sentiments. Start-ups feel more fickle as of late... perhaps just chance with Sparrow's recent buy out, etc. Unless there's a real reason to keep going for the starters (monetary or personal drive/passion), then there's no fountain to stand on. It's disappointing! I was really looking forward to trying this out... but I never made it past the waiting list.
- chermanowicz 14y agoAgree, it's a shame, but the reality is and always was that execution is far harder than coming up with an idea.
- nobrogrammer 14y ago@cynicalmood I'm curious whether you've run a startup? How long would you go without an income (if that's the "whatever" you're referring to) even if you believed in the vision?
- alexro 14y agoI agree with @cynicalmood that if you don't know what it takes to pull this thing through, don't trick the users into believing you're have got solid plans. Experimenting is always fine as long as everybody involved is on the same page.
