> I mean, just look across the street at Gnip - another Boulder startup...
So I had experience consuming their pipeline and Gnip had a real product. Also, the people running Gnip are still in downtown boulder running the Cognizant office. They are very competent.
I didn't mean to paint Gnip in a bad light. I worked there not too long after I worked at Trada. They definitely had a solid product and many competent engineers. Certainly a lot more capable than I was. I learned a lot while I was there.
But they ran into issues early on and had to undergo significant restructuring: https://techcrunch.com/2009/09/28/gnip-clips-60-percent-of-s....
I keep waiting for the decline and fall of online advertising, and all it does is keep going up.
