Does anyone have a pointer to the backstory to this? The response and the discussion here don't make a lot of sense without knowing about what previously happened.
Here's what I can tell you from what I've gathered.
--There was WakeMate, a YC company
--They were having issues (with hardware, customers...)
--Greg (one of the founders) left
--He started a new company that is trying to make a similar product by crowdfunding the capital needed
--He emailed all of the WakeMate users
--Nobody told Arun (another founder)
--Arun discontinued WakeMate and apologized to the WakeMate users for the unauthorized email
