Ask HN: MC Hammer mystery startup, what happened

1 points by inokon 13 years ago · 0 comments · 1 min read


MC Hammer raised $4.5m for a startup and I want to know what happened to it. I am a Stanford grad building a startup around a mobile dance game a lot like DanceJam. I recently joined AngelList and found a profile for DanceJam. https://angel.co/dancejam

My ask: 1. How to contact MC Hammer and his investors/partners

2. Good suggestions of what to ask when I interview MC Hammer and his investors/partners

3. Learn what happened to DanceJam

4. Learn all the reasons I should NOT do a business like this. The truth is I won't stop but I want to learn to do it smarter, better, and faster.

I am reaching out to HN as an experiment. Yesterday I mentioned my game to my upstairs neighbor who is an awesome web programmer (I love Oakland). Miraculously she mentioned DanceJam and how she was hired to user test in 2007 or 2009. I interviewed her for the next 20 minutes. Juicy insights! But a las her little clues have made me hungry for the whole story. Can you help me?

- with gratitude, Angel
