I am. If you have $30M in the bank, why the fuck are you joining Yahoo?

Unfortunately no. Had a meeting scheduled with her, was forced to wait for three hours outside her office. Eventually left.

Reading comprehension fail. He received the $30m FROM Yahoo for the sale and his commitment of 18 months.

Um, it was already announced that they are killing it... And using the technology for their own, already existing services.

Because it was probably part of the buy out agreement.

He doesn't have $30M. He raised $1.5 million 2 years ago to develop the app. I'd be surprised if he had $5M after everything was all said and done. Investors investing in a 15 year old aren't stupid. They definitely maximized their upside.

Plus, these types of deals typically want the founder to stay on for a period of time.
