And this is just out of curiosity - to learn what they have seen that I'm missing and cannot see.
Nowmov is not very good yet at finding the best stuff, obviously, but they only just launched. You have to imagine what it looks like when it can customize per user.
I just had a different experience when I met you the other day at Chirp and demoed our app. It was a 4 month app developed in the part-time, has a decent traction, and growing at decent rate, but with great potential in future. I was more interested in explaining you my vision and getting your feedback on it, but it seemed like you gave lot of emphasis on its current usefulness and didn't seem to imagine how great and useful the app would be in few months.
So I was just curious, how your thought process works. But I'm glad that you seem to believe in the approach of what we potentially can achieve based on what we have achieved so far.
Thanks for your reply!
First, a lot of companies release their long-term vision in stages. Think of Bump: their first release was a way to share contacts on mobile devices. Which is kind of cool, but maybe not IPO-worthy. Now they're doing mobile payments with PayPal, and I can only imagine they have bigger things coming.
Second, YC invests in founders, and the Nowmov founders are amazing.
