Charging users for something that they could already do for free was kinda laughable. I tried this service, but honestly it was just as easy to text message my email acct if i needed a reminder.

Very interesting, thanks for that, Bob. And nice jab on the snide part, well done! Seems crazy that a million isn’t a lot to start with. Very interesting, thanks for that, Bob.

In the meantime, I'll try to answer the questions that you DID ask. --- There, now you got a half snide remark in return. ;) When investors pump money into companies, they typically EXPECT the company to spend it. The investors are putting the money at risk, looking for a bigger payback. Typically, the founder will outline how the money will be spent, and expectations of what that investment might return (in terms of dollars or users or whatever, along with a timeline). Some may go to the founder as salary, but most had better be going toward chasing that dream. At some point in time, the team may realize that the expectations are not being met as planned. Then the company executives may decide to revise the plan ("hey, let's quit spending on that effort, it's not working"). If there is money left, the company executives may decide to spend it on a new project, or may decide to shut down operations, pay all the bills, and then return the remainder (if any) to the company owners. In short, there typically isn't a lot left, when a company ceases operation. A million isn't a lot to start with. Go ahead and ask your *good* question. In the meantime, I’ll try to answer the questions that you DID ask.

So the Crunchbase stats say they received 1 million in funding. What happens to that money, is it all gone? Do they have to give it (or pay it) back to the investors? Was there any revenue generated out of the business at all? Are they less likely to receive funding again since they were not successful with kwiry? I'm actually genuinely curious about this one.
