They seem to have removed their crunchbase profile already. Pretty sure they used to have one. The amount of shut downs lately seems slightly higher than usual, feels like we are entering a slight shedding phase.
I noticed that too because I was trying to figure out who bought them (Sales Force) on Crunchbase. Entrepreneurs aren't building sustainable ideas. I think this tightly correlates to the series A crunch.
Honestly, I think one of the key things of finding a great investor is not just the money but the business mentorship. With crowd-funding, all you get is money which is cool, but what most start-ups need is money + people in power in their corner to promote their product, set up meetings with corporations who would otherwise never listen to the startup founders, and a way to open doors to new relationships.
I'm glad I stuck with Asana.
Until they decide to shut down?
Anything that's a saas can be the next one to close. This is why I'm sticking with opensource tools that you can self host.
What are you using for task management that is open source?
Well, there's life after death. If you're looking for a similar do.com alternative, you can take a look at: http://bit.ly/HlxzHY
Can anyone recommend any other alternatives? The reasons we chose do.com over Asana and Flow were the simplicity of the interface, great mobile app, free, and CRM support. Totally bummed.
Clicking "Update Subscription Preferences" at the bottom of the email shows the address of who it was sent to. Might not want that everywhere.
I find it odd that they would announce a shutdown today, yet they do not have a tool to migrate data for another 2 weeks.
SFDC is in the enterprise software business, full stop. Their SMB offering is SFDC. Was this an aqucihire?
Do.com -- Get more done, have more fun. (and a picture of old folk) O_o This just wrong!
Watch the video. Seriously, it's hilarious in an incredibly macabre way.
