Comment on Color CEO: The Tech Justifies the $41 Million

Comments

6 patents pending? Is this all a big IP bet for them & their investors? That could really set back under funded entrepreneurs working on similar solutions.

That's what I think. If you look at this quote:

"The more you interact with someone, the more persistent that connection becomes."

Facebook already has been doing this for a couple years, but if Color sniped them on the patent by a few months then that would justify the valuation alone. Plus they have a solid team with at least a decent chance of building something themselves, which is basically just gravy if the investors have a guarantee of at least getting a 2x return by suing Facebook and a couple other companies.
