Sequoia Capital Invests In Bump Technologies (YC W08)

techcrunch.com

It looks like BUMP received $3 million on a $10 million post-money valuation from Sequoia. It is a very nice app.

If Apple offered this app as a standard feature on all iPhones it would really set the iPhone apart even more from the competition in their advertising. Hopefully BUMP’s IP on this is very solid, it can’t be very hard to duplicate this feature for the customer under a different set of instructions.

congrats to the team that will kill the biz card.

That's supposing everyone has an Iphone or Ipod Touch. You guys need to get out of the valley, heck, even take a trip out of the USA.

I love the idea, love the product. But will they kill the business card? Not in 10 years...not even 20.

I do see it happening if they become the standard. Not clear on how that can happen.
