#1465 What didn’t kill Colin Hodge made him stronger
In 2013 Colin Hodge was one of the most written about startup founders, because of his company’s suggestive name, Bang with Friends, and because of his masterful use of PR.
Then Zynga sued him. Apple banned his app. And he had to lay off everyone on his team.
This is the story of how he bunkered down in South America, worked by himself and rebuilt his company — and himself. The result was Down, a revenue generating dating app that he sold to Paktor.
Colin Hodge is the Founder of of Down (formerly Bang With Friends) which is a dating app that he sold to Paktor.
