As a VC, how is a $41 million investment in Color justified?

Thank you. All this negative criticism about Sequoia's investment is kind of like berating a friend for buying a project house. It might need work, it might be a failure, it might be a success. Let's just all sit back and enjoy the ride, whatever it may be.

So first, I don't get the analogy of Sequoia as a friend in this scenario. Especially when the project house is a data mining application.

Second, I found it difficult to enjoy the ride when the product, as released, was buggy and difficult to understand in both UI and user proposition.

Sorry, that was probably a bad analogy. Either way, the ride can be enjoyed as a bystander. If you don't like it, don't use it. I totally agree that the UI is so unusable I uninstalled the app, but I am still interested in seeing how things turn out.
