Now that you mention sleeping. I imagine one could do cool sleeping startups that clone something but exist only on paper. The sleeper startup is only launched the moment some ham fisted mega corp aquires the original and all the customers are looking for a way to abandon ship.
- gmueckl 21d agoWon't work. Businesses need a proven track record before they can buy. With no established history of successes, this plan is already dead on arrival.
- theendisney 21d agoDepends who does it. If someone with the track record and budget pulls the rabbit out of the hat swiftly existing customers would at least investigate. If you maintain a list of shortcommings or good new features it could sound like a sweet deal. If the company was aquired to shut it down it would work even better. Marketing is increasingly expensive. Any hype is valuable. One might as well design the product for the promotion.
