The 11th hour
Entrecard founderGraham Langdonmentions the reason he sells on Sitepoint:
The sale price is a minimum $100,000 and the bid ends soon. Any takers? (auction ends in 16 hours after the time of writing this article)
Publicity stunt?
I am not sure why the founder couldn’t find another investor for the site. I mean, if Compete is correct, some investors have to be interested. Maybe Langdon should give it another chance and not have his hopes ruined after one failure (although he has family problems as well,says his blog). He also founded theMillion Dollar Wiki project(buy a wiki page for $100), anAlex Tew’s MillionDollarHomepage copycat. He obviously knows how to work the media, so this could be a publicity stunt (saying to sell the site, media talks, he gets a publicity boost and then he changes his mind).
Graham managed to make $123,000 from MillionDollarWiki so far and he wanted also tosell this site on Sitepointto finance his new project, Entrecard. But it seems he wasn’t lucky. The price he wanted wasn’t met so probably he didn’t sell.
Update:I just spoke with Langdon and he told me he changed his mind and won’t sell. That’s good because Entrecard has a future and he should be the one who should fullfill it. I always agreed that who started something (a company in this case) should finish it (head it to success). Hopefully, he will be up to this task and I wish him all the best.
