It was supposed to be a
headline-worthy
cooperation between the world’s arguably most popular tech blog and
a Singapore startup. Now it’s all going
downhill. Why
and how it came to this stage nobody will know for sure, as
Arrington puts it, “Ultimately there are two sides to every story…”
But, if it were the case as Arrington described, the “shareholders”
deserve this ending. Why squander away a chance to launch a product
in a larger market by leveraging on a famed tech blog’s name and
instead choose to have the whole of a much smaller pie? If greed was
really the cause, I hope Arrington wins the suits against Fusion
Garage.
But Fusion Garage deserves a chance to voice their side of the
story. Maybe we’ll get to see something on Straits Times to hear
from them what exactly transpired. I hope it’s not because they are
unable to produce the software – I really look forward to a
successful Singapore tech startup make good internationally.
