It's fairly unclear to me how this works. Clicking on the "Use Theme" buttons doesn't do anything. The "Working" and "History" buttons in the left panel don't do anything. You can't scroll the sidebar at all, so content is just cut off. So far, it seems like a complete non-starter. I have no idea what the hell this site does, anyways. It's just templates for so-called "infographics"?

Worse, the screen is completely filled with "social" buttons. They're in the header, they're in the sidebar, and they're in the footer. Furthermore, the "Follow us on Twitter" button is pre-checked so that if you try to log in via Twitter, you automatically get subscribed to their account. That's a douchey move.

Seems to me that the purpose of the site is to spam you with crap. The site seems so skeezy that I daren't "log in to Twitter" through their site.

I know what it does, and I want to try and use it, but I found it was incomprehensible.

I second all this. How a company like this raises VC is just dumbfounding. Why the F do graphic designers need to raise VC to pump out more infographics. Isn't that fad over with anyways?

Just another sign that there's a huge VC bubble forming in the Valley.

Yes, there are plenty of legitimate companies that will generate substantial value for VCs, but when you see money being thrown at companies who exist to make infographics it smells of trouble.

We exist to make software that makes infographics and visualizations so that the designers can move on to next-level work like doing more research, better analysis, more interactivity. We coordinate these projects, but don't make infographics ourselves.

That's a huge opportunity... software to make infographics... lol. What are VC's thinking and what were YOU thinking. How Not To Launch 101. Site is unusable, 15 seconds are up.

No doubt. How any VC thinks this type of company would sell for $1-2mm+ is beyond me. This is a profit type of company run out of a basement, not a VC investment. Yet somehow they got some top tier angels... Sometimes it's more about who you know.
