_Zero_ revenue?

That's not a startup, that's a hobby.




You're gonna be surprised at the massive number of pre-revenue venture backed startups then friend.


Instagram was zero revenue when bought by Facebook. And Siri when acquired by Apple. I wouldn't describe it as a hobby.


I am pretty sure instagram had revenue, even if no profit. It was a paid app, the money must have gone somewhere.


Instagram has never been a paid app.


oh, sorry I was thinking of whatsapp!
