Company still has a significant amount of cash left in the bank that they're returning to investors. Someone below quoted 25m? I wouldn't be surprised if it was even higher.

I think the other commenters are way too harsh on you. While I don't think you really need to apologize in this case, its a classy move regardless.

My personal opinion and standard for customer service (to my customers) is that no matter how rude the customer is (in this case, I personally wouldn't classify Ryan as rude), its my responsibility to be as polite and helpful as humanly pos

The actual scan technology is very specific and hard if not impossible (with current tech) to implement on things like a photocopied card. A real card needs to be used.

I 100% agree with your concern, and that is the problem for it extends beyond tech startups to anyone in the world who have this mindset (of which there are many -- the ruthlessly, amorally, ambitious.)

Hey Eric, your site is awesome. I love how easy it is to play music. I had some thoughts from a UX perspective of things I didn't like about it. Dislike: There’s no sign up, only a Login with Facebook button (which is annoying personally be

"In the end if someone else succeeds with this idea wouldn't that person be stealing the idea as well?" >> There's an unbelievably huge difference between someone (a complete stranger) realizing this idea by themselves and running w

I can't believe more people haven't stated this, but honestly stealing his idea is an UBER dick move. I can't believe you're even considering this, wow. There's plenty of ideas out there, you don't need to be lazy AND immoral to steal this

Reluctant to comment, since this is circumstantial and may be seen as not adding to the discussion, but for what its worth, I've heard (long before this incident) many cases in which Dan Porter has exhibited this type of behavior (immoral a

"No way... I've never heard of a start up that had a product with a great potential but didn't manage to pull it of due to bad business strategy" >> Seriously? Enter any space in web 2.0 and you'll see a bunch of very similar prod

Until you actually acquire those skills... which is actually really hard to do (it's harder to find a good business cofounder than it is to find a good technical cofounder), you should not be dismissive.

I agree, but to a point. In spaces where there are a ton of competitors doing roughly the same thing, shipping too early can be fatal. The trick is finding the balance. Entrepreneurs, take the article's advice with a grain of salt. On the o

curious that this is the top rated comment. Seems a lot of people have had this experience. It's a shame that you joined a startup with no direction. Give the scene another try. There are entrepreneurs who know what they're doing.
