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.

How was the tech stack? I had an offer from them when it was called Vokal. Was not sure of business prospects and declined it though the tech looked interesting

And yet the founders will not acknowledge their incompetency!

They’ll shift the blame on Indian users and their mindset and how it is so challenging to build a new social media for Indians while ignoring the fact that X, insta, fb, whatsapp and prev. Tik tok are whales in India.

End of the day, these founders will be celebrated as people who drove massive fundings in, made millions and accomplished FIRE. Investor will get a tax write off.

What did Indian users lose here?

Shouldn't it be investors 0?

@NinjaStorm They lose the confidence of people who truly are trying to solve something. Everybody thinks “Indians don’t value innovation and it’s worthless building anything for them”.

When a bhakt supported app stops being supported by the bhakt agenda, this is what happens
