Departure & Aftermath
Even though the startup was originally my idea and concept, I sold my shares and left it in April 2013 due to major differences with my co-founders concerning the startup’s vision and operations. My successors and ex-partners didn’t continue nor adopt my product roadmap and vision after I left, but instead pivoted the startup into just a regular online ticketing startup that had to compete with established giants like Eventbrite and Ticketmaster. They ended up eventually failing, and the startup closed down in 2016.
