Forrst Gets Seeded With $200,000

Question for you: According to the article, 10% of users pay 9$/month:

9$/month-user * 12 months/year * 10% * 23000 users = 248400$/year

200k$ seems like a small sum compared to your yearly revenues.

What did you gave up for 200k$ ? Why not just wait for the revenue to come in ?

It is 10% of forrst.me accounts that cost $9/month, not forrst.com accounts.

Forrst.me can serve as the central place of your online profiles, but not everyone on Forrst have a forrst.me portfolio.

Thanks for the correction. I guess I got confused by the similar names, especially since http://forrst.me redirects to http://forrst.com . I can't be the only one confused by this dual use of the same trademark...

BTW, it shows "435 supporters so far" and supporter accounts cost $9/month.
