“It helped that we were already in Bootup Labs, a startup incubator in Vancouver, when we had this idea. Basically we

already had the infrastructure in place needed to start a company (legal counsel, accounting, etc.), so we mostly

focused on building a great product.”

Monday, November 28, 2011

“There's a big need for products to filter out the noise because sharing of content is increasing exponentially. I think

more and more people are starting to realize the cost of keeping up with content in realtime is just too high, and it's

far better to be productive, do your work.”

“Now we’re totally overloaded by this because everyone can publish. The next step is curation, is being able to put a layer on top of this to make

sense of it.”

“For most people, a real-time stream of endless tweets was (and still is) difficult to digest. This is where we saw an

opportunity - provide an easy tool to consume what was being shared on Twitter.

“I looked at magazines, and I looked at an article in Time Magazine and it looked so

beautiful, and then you look at that same article on the

website and it’s just a shadow of itself.

And I thought, ‘Why is it that?”

“It all started because we had this problem ourselves. We really enjoy reading articles, but there’s just too much content out there and it’s really hard to figure out what’s relevant. ... All this happened at a restaurant during dinner, and the next

day we started working on the product.”
