Everpix, Snapchat, and the Startup Lie

For what it's worth, I emailed with the CEO of Everpix a couple of days ago to tell him that my organization may be interested in buying the app so that they wouldn't have to shut it down.

All I was asking for was a telephone call to discuss the possibility, but I was denied even that opportunity. I wish I knew what was going on behind the scenes at this point that would lead to the decision not to field last-minute offers.

You probably weren't the first, and that's why they are not responding - I would expect they are already speaking to someone...

One of the articles mentioned they already sold some of the tech (but not the branding) to fund the orderly shutdown. Not sure what that involved, maybe just someone wanted the source code.

That makes sense. It's too bad that the existing service wasn't part of the package.
