It would be interesting to find out if 50 or any of his agents know anything about ShopIt, and how much of the information about Shop It or Rocky Mirza’s companies is PR buzz that was created by an unrelated party.

May it be emphasized any business man or venture capitalist to perform their due diligence.

Stated numbers for any business should demand solid back up;
and ALL and ANY PR should be reviewed with a fine toothed comb.
As should affiliated companies.
Contact people who have ceased working with him on their own accord and inquire why.

A wise investor always reduces their risk

50cent was not personally a part of Shopit. His new media team were early adopters.

Robin – I’m surprised you missed a couple of major competitors. I guess its difficult given such a new market. As a serious app developer, I have tried ALL the networks out there. The top 3 are AdKnowledge, AdParlor, and Rockyou Ads. Nothing else comes close – and yes I have tried social media, appsavvy, triana…

It’s also pretty crappy that a company in Los Angeles would have bought Australian IP when we just lost 600k jobs.

I don’t think I’ll be supporting them by using their services.

Acquisition price?

“apparently the company was acquired by ShopIt in October 200″

No doubt this deal was started before the decline of the economy and good faith carried it through as the market started to slide.

If i were the exec on the side of shopit, I would have been like “well, our due diligence has shown something astounding” __INSERT_SOME_IP_RELATED_REASON_HERE__ … “well, it was real, see ya”

Then built it internally.

But hind sight is 20/20
