   If Mahalo has been such a loved product with versions 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 why are they basically scrapping all of it and releasing a new product? It must be hilarious being an investor and seeing entrepreneurs pitch so confidently with ideas

   They raised a seed round of $1.5M to build a proof of concept and have now doubled down and raised $8M. What is bothering about that, isn't it ideal to "get something out the door asap" for this ambitious a goal (a visual search engine)?

    Their business model is straight forward, if they can pull their technology off they have just created an entire industry that could spawn a whole new generation of electronics companies. The difficulty is making the technology work, and yo

    I think you are entirely correct, I think the Que could simply be described as a product desperately in search of a problem to solve.
