There is one high-profile, highly successful software entrepreneur
right now who is burning through something like $80 million in venture
funding in his latest startup and has practically nothing to show for it
except for some great press clippings and a couple of beta customers
I'm wondering who Marc is talking about? (it was in 2007). Any idea anybody?
- presty 12y agoIf it were 2014, I would say Lucas Duplan
- api 12y agoColor? Or was that later?
- nostrademons 12y agoIt was later. The news stories about Color came out around 2010/2011. It couldn't have been 2007, because Color is a mobile app and the iPhone didn't come out until 2007 (actually, it apparently launched 4 days after Marc wrote this essay). I'm looking through the TechCrunch headlines of June 2007 and coming up empty. No idea what it could be.
- api 12y ago"No idea what it could be." Maybe it was really bad. :)
