Nick Desai act’s like a child and has nothing to lose, it’s the other people working there that will suffer, sadly. The product changes direction weekly on Nicks whims, once even from a crack-pot dream he had. Anyone with VC capitol should investigate very carefully because it’s a company of smoke and mirrors. They are all playing pretend.

The two founders don’t get along at all. Nick has a major-league ego, and the other guy, David, just seems out of it and was never around (rumors swirled about some bad chemical habits). They have both led failed companies.

If I were a VC, I would avoid this company like the plague. Bad management, crowded space, revolving door, no execution and strategy as clear as mud.

Oh, and the product stinks.

That said, I think most of these competitors will start tilting their business plans 15 degrees to the right or the left and servicing other segments of the industry.

By this time next year, my guess is that half the companies you listed will have redefined themselves, using their platforms for white label solutions, direct marketing, etc.
