Comment on Diaspora’s (YC S12) Next Act: Social Remixing Site Makr.io

Comments

Just curious, if any of the funds raised via Kickstarter for Diaspora were used in the development of Makr.io, including founders/developers salaries/expenses/etc.?

If yes, that is the biggest flaw of Kickstarter, no accountability. I can dream something really great, raise tons of cash via Kickstarter, and use that to do something else.

They burnt through the Kickstarter funding long before Makr.io.

well, 4 guys for almost two years on about 150k (after taxes and teeshirts)
