Oh yeah Twitter is cooked. Their Crashlytics SDK is awesome. Answers is good too. I actually think if they spun out their SDK biz, it would actually be a real interesting business.

IoT security is still so nascent that most vendors in it arent really spending much time architecting a secure layer. Frankly they don't really care if their products get co-opted for a DDOS attack. There's no harm to their customer. This will be a huge problem as time goes on.

Interesting insight. Now I have to go check out Upsight for our app.

Not surprising. All these guys want to protect their own fiefdoms.
These are all fairly standard VC behaviors frankly. If you didn't do enough diligence on him/her before, then it's your fault. Sorry to be blunt. The best advice I have heard is "VCs are like your Colombian drug suppliers in Scarface. Act accordingly". I have heard worst behaviors where it's more along the side of self-dealing, where if other investors wanted to sue, they have ground to.

This is why if people are wrong to celebrate raising VC money. Celebrate when you actually bootstrap the startup.
