Another YC company that will soon be going under or losing its founder will be loopt.
- unalone 17y agoOh? I'm interested in hearing your logic. I see no point to Loopt and think it looks cheap, but it's expanded to the point where it's mentioned in TV commercials, and its founder is Paul Graham's golden boy. I'm asking because your logic re:Tipjoy was sound, and I'd like to see a similar argument for Loopt.
- ivankirigin 17y agoI don't think you understand the direction we were going in. We would largely agree with the assessment on purely voluntary donations - and we were evolving to be a general purpose payments system. You could mandate payment.
- catch23 17y agoLoopt is supposedly profitable in 2009, which means they've had profitable quarters so far. Unless they do something that significantly causes money drain, they'll be able to continue for a long time. Hard to compare to TipJoy when the founders have said they were never pulling profit.
