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

I think you're caught up.
