VoSnap Still Not Live…
July 9th, 2007 | Published in Misc. | 4 Comments
So - VoSnap is still not live - but there will be a launch sometime in the near future.
The question - does this mean that VoSnap Inc. is a failed company?
My instant gut reaction is to say “NO!”. There is so much that goes into the success or failure of a company that I think it’s too soon to tell. So what if the application wasn’t launched by Midnight on Sunday. Launch deadlines are missed all the time. What matters is what happens next.
VoSnaps Inc. voted in our last meeting to Bootstrap the company, and appoint a core team composed of each of the groups (promotions, dev, creative, ux, biz/dev, legal, & production) to carry the project forward. And there was great interest expressed by everyone in the room to continue development of this application. Around 75% of the people agreed to devote 10 or more hours a month to this project.
If no one follows thru on their commitment to carry this project forward - then and only then will VoSnaps Inc. be a failure.
However, StartupWeekend was a roaring success! Kudos to Andrew, Gwen, Brad, Joe, and the gang for everything they contributed to this weekend.
I’m going to do a followup post tomorrow talking about all of the great people I met, and highlighting the real concrete benefits of StartupWeekend. In the meantime - here are a couple VoSnap Banner ads to add to your site!

Well it was awesome following the event this weekend, not so awesome waiting 6 hours after it was meant to be released before going to bed and still have nothing >.

vosnap is obviously not a failed company. it hasn’t even launched!
startup weekend simply failed to deliver on it’s promise of launching by sunday night. that much is painfully obvious!

@Ludwig - I imagine they were so tired that they didn’t even thing about letting their fans know they were throwing in the towel
@David - I definitely agree - and I had a tremendous time - no matter what the outcome. I really enjoyed meeting you - and getting to know all the amazing folks up in Boulder!
