fastcompany: (Above: Hipstamatic CEO Lucas Buick and CTO Ryan Dorshorst)Fast Company’s Austin Carr brings us the first installment of a three-part series: “Hipstamatic was one of the first startups to crack the photo formula in the mobile space—then it watched similar services gain ground and eventually blaze by. The company’s experience proves that no startup can rest on its laurels in the age of the iPhone, when the time between innovation and disruption is ever shortening, and when IPOs and fast exits are valued over establishing long-term viable businesses. And perhaps most significantly, Hipstamatic proves that no modern startup can ignore the siren call of social, even if at its own peril.” Fascinating.
