Kozmo and UrbanFetch to Merge?
from the consolidation dept
Take two poorly performing, difficult to scale, internet companies and combine them and what do you get? Probably not very much. However, Kozmo and Urbanfetch are apparently in talks to merge. This is pretty interesting considering the two companies have sued each other in the past. The CEO of Urbanfetch was an investor before starting the company and heard Kozmo's pitch. Not surprisingly, the people at Kozmo were less than happy to hear that he left his investing job to start an exact replica of Kozmo.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
