What part is made up?
- gizmo 17y agoThe part about the $1 million VC money. But perhaps it wasn't you who made it up.
- mattmaroon 17y agoIt was him who called it an indisputable fact.
- randallsquared 17y agoEr, "undisputed" is not the same as "indisputable". Just sayin'.
- scott_s 17y agoHow much time did you give them to respond before posting your story?
- ghshephard 17y ago"Some basic, undisputed facts: ... he and his wife are shutting TipJoy down and returning what’s left of the $1 million they had raised to their investors." Do you have any sources, documentation or other reason to believe that TipJoy raised $1 million?
- pakafka 17y agoRe: Tipjoy's Series A. Multiple reports pegged it at $1M. http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/09/24/tipjoy-raises-1-million-for-its-simple-micropayment-platform/ http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/09/24/tipjoy-raises-1-million... http://www.thedeal.com/dealscape/technology/angel-investor/exclusive-betaworks-leads-1-m.php http://www.thedeal.com/dealscape/technology/angel-investor/e... Are you saying those reports are wrong? Or that the company didn't call down the entire round? Re: Comments. I reached out to Ivan and Abby more than 24 hours before I published the story. I understand why they'd be reluctant to respond, and I told them that. I appreciate the back and forth on this board -- Paul's comments have been particularly enlightening -- but I'm going to bow out now. Please contact me directly if you have specific comments or questions. Thanks. pk
- Goladus 17y agoFrom your article: You could see why some of TipJoy’s backers, which include BetaWorks, the Accelerator Group, ex-Googler Chris Sacca and the Y Combinator start-up factory, might cry foul. Have any of them actually cried foul? I recommend following up with them if you are really interested in the facts.
