Wow, what a launch! Geronimo, the free new email app for iPhone and Apple Watch...
 
Okay, I've been checking out the launch of "Geronimo" - a new free email app for the iPhone and Apple Watch...

And what a launch!

Here's just some of the media coverage they've gotten...

Wired
"This App Makes a Wacky Game Out of Sorting Your Email"
http://www.wired.com/2015/08/geronimo-email-app/

CNET
"Three ways Geronimo will change how you deal with your email"
http://www.cnet.com/news/email-app-geronimo/

Cult of Mac
"With Geronimo, loving email again may not be such a leap"
http://www.cultofmac.com/385865/with...e-such-a-leap/

New York Daily News
"Geronimo offers unique, gesture-based experience for sorting through your email"
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...icle-1.2339237

TheNextWeb (TNW)
"Geronimo: A new email app with almost TOO MANY fresh ideas"
http://thenextweb.com/apps/2015/08/2...y-fresh-ideas/

...And that's just a fraction of the media coverage... (You can "Google" to find more...)

And check out the Twitter buzz! Talk about "Geronimo" seems to be "swamping" Twitter...

Here are some selected tweets...

















All I gotta say... What a launch! (Very educational...)

Best wishes,

Dien

P.S. Disclaimer: I am following it all very closely - because I'm an investor in the startup company which made the app!

Is this company publicly traded?

Hi Tom,

It's not a listed company at this stage...

Best wishes,

Dien

By the way, they probably will raise more investment capital in the future. If anyone is interested in investing, I can put you in touch with the right people.

The "catch" is you have to be an accredited investor - http://www.investor.gov/news-alerts/...ited-investors
(This is due to US securities regulations.)

Any kind of early internet "startup" type of investment should be considered "high risk"... My view is that this is a "high risk / high reward" investment, meaning you could make a lot of money - or you could lose it all too.

My personal approach is to only invest in these types of investments an amount of money which, if I lose it all, won't affect my lifestyle too much. (Please note that this is not investment advice - if you want investment advice, please consult a trained professional... My reason for saying that is because I am not formally qualified to give investment advice.)

Thanks Dien. If it was listed I would be interested in their options. Easier to make money with a little bit of cash versus investing a bunch of cash.

Just my 2¢...
