#Fail: EventVue

EventVue 2007–2010
Colorado — USA
Founders — Rob Johnson and John Fraser
Raised $ 455.000

EventVue was an online community that aimed to improve conference networking by enabling attendees to search for and connect with others.

Main reasons for failure

- Market fit: The Conference organizers thought it was nice but didn’t see a need for it.
- Sales: Built a sales effort but with a weak product

Nowadays
Rob Johnson is now the Director of Product, Head of Data & Enterprise Solutions
John Fraser was a Co-Founder and the CEO at Torbit (Acquired by Walmart Labs) and was a Co-Founder and CTO at Din (Din offers ingredient delivery for restaurant recipes)
