Koo is in distress - only 20cr left in the bank

What surprises me is that one cofounder is left with just 1% stake. I mostly discount such things but here it was an explicit bet because the funds knew Aprameya and not because they saw any potential in the idea. Doomed to fail from the start, no matter how right wing they positioned it to be.

Gov & right wing had nothing to do with koo from day 1 ! Why are you bringing them into this...all gov personalities are on twitter themselves, so why drag right wing into it.... the product itself was hapf cooked and investors jumped on the ideo of Indian sicial media

I didn’t say the right wing supported them. I said they try to position Koo to be pro right wing, sucking up and licking their boots, and still didn’t work out as the govt and/or the rw folks didn’t care about any of this.

Why do you think that it was the right wing party people who joined it first ? Just a coincidence ?

Are you against Indian products competing with global giants? Most people don't even have the balls to do something like this. Why abuse anyone who attempts to do something so unthinkable? Commentary dena easy hai. Karna bahut mushkil.

2 - there was no abuse in what I said, padhna seekhlo Amazon mein kaam ayega
3 - comment karna haq hai, tumko nahi karna toh tum mat karo. Mein karunga.

Isnt 20 cr more than enough to run a business of such kind?

Not at all, server costs alone will burn through it in couple of months. Let alone employee, marketing and other expenses.

What's the estimated server cost for something like koo?

I remember some guy/girl from koo put a post on Grapevine 1 month back stating how Aprameya used to openly say in townhalls that "aapko yahan g**nd marwani padegi"

What exactly went wrong with Koo?

Read somewhere that they raised 525 Cr while the rev. at that point stood at 14L

Koo is shutting down

Another startup that could have been something had it not been for the bull market and Tiger investing unnecessarily. Over $66Mn raised, and now it's over.
