Followistic closure announcement

Dear customers and partners of Followistic,

You may have noticed that it got quiet around here lately and there’s a reason that we’d like to share with you today.

The pandemic has been hard on everyone, and in our case, irrevocably so. With businesses and investors focused on making it through Covid, all our efforts to secure funding have been unsuccessful. As we ran out of money we had to let go of our team, and Followistic came to a standstill.

This uncertainty required us to be realistic. We took a break and decided to keep ourselves busy with other projects that paid the bills. Coming back to it, we had to question the real need for our product, and the odds of getting enough funding and customers in the near future to keep us running. We realized that our solution was just not essential in the current landscape.

It was an incredibly hard decision to make after all the effort to build up the company, but we believe it’s the right one. And now, it’s time to move on.

We’re beyond grateful for everything we learned and accomplished, all the support we received and the trust people put into us. The long days and late nights, highs and lows.

Thank you to our team and all our customers, users, partners, investors. It’s been a fantastic experience.
