Today the Sampa team went to a meeting with another startup in the Seattle area. The meeting went from 1:30 pm until 5:00 pm. Not bad for a first meeting.
I won't tell which company is so we don't spoil the surprise if something comes out of that.
Basically, they don't do what we do, but their users would like to have what Sampa offers. On the other hand Sampa does a little bit of what they do, not all, and what we do isn't great. It is actually one of our weakest points, yet, our users need it.
Why don't we do that by ourselves? Why we don't fix this problem if it is so important to our users? The short answer is because it is hard. It is hard to implement, manage and do it right.
There is a lot of business, marketing and technical discussion that should follow, but we are startups, so in a month or so you should either see some integration between the two companies or the deal didn't go through. Keep watching reading.
