It would depend how directly involved with porn it was. As a rule investors won't touch pure porn companies, regardless of how they feel about any moral questions, because they can never grow into anything more. But there seem to be a lot of successful companies that are one step removed from porn.
- meredydd 17y agoone step removed from porn Okay, I have to ask - what do you mean by this? Are you talking about supposedly general-purpose products whose main revenue-generating usage is in fact pornographic? Or products that operate elsewhere in some supply chain but don't actually have direct contact with the naked boys and girls? Could you give a couple of examples, perhaps?

- wheels 17y agoOne of the first startups I was asked to work for was doing a Java widget for decoding video in the browser -- no plugins required. This was before Flash took over that area. I didn't get how it was supposed to make money until they hinted at porn. I suspect that's in the category of "things one step removed".
