Failure of Neal Stephenson Kickstarter
- samstave 13y agoIn a diamond age of VC funding, his effort to crowdfund snowcrashed.
- unoti 13y agoThe Clang kickstarter announcement underscores the importance of good public-facing communications, which is sorely lacking here. I'm not too astonished that the devs feel the way the announcement reads, but this shows how there's value in having "inside words", and a different public-facing voice. Their public-facing communications should be intended to improve the company's prospects, not hurt them.
- peterclary 13y agoI can see it now: "I enjoyed reading this Neal Stephenson Kickstarter, but it didn't have a conventional denouement, and had lots of loose ends."
- Articulate 13y agoDang- their kickstarter video was so incredible that all I wanted was for this project to work. The letter they have does nothing to acknowledge the let down of the people, and didn't take responsibility... both parts of legitimate apologies.
