I never understand the rationale behind building a huge userbase and then abandoning them... pardon... 'pivoting' to something completely different.
That hasn't worked particularly well for Foursquare/Swamp and it won't work for Snapchat either.
- danieltillett 12y agoIt would depend on how much money the founders have been able to syphon out of the business along the way. If investors are dumb enough to give you money to build a business that can’t be monetized then who are you to say no (provided of course you can figure out a way of getting your hands on some of the cash).
