So much to say about this bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Reid Hoffman, Jeff Katzenberg, Fred Wilson and Sunil Paul threw good money at this.
And because it was Pincus and Hoffman’s thing, it sucked oxygen from other folks.
All along, it was underfunded (See civichall.org/civicist/getti…)
The million or whatever’s been burned on WTF could have paid for ten more field organizers for Indivisible
“Tech savior syndrome” indeed. And in 2017, when they launched WTF, there were plenty of other worthy efforts that starved a bit more civichall.org/civicist/hunge…
Plus it’s of no help to #civictech when would-be saviors like Pincus and Sean Parker predictably fail
Sean Parker has burned more than $9 million on Brigade =
90 organizers not hired
And it’s really sad to see ppl like Pincus complain that no one reached out to him from political tech world. That’s not true. Cranky billionaire is not a good look.
