A recent report on VentureBeat covered Oak's travails and poor track record; one comment pointed out the co-investing strategy and links between Oak and Worldview (with the latter clearly admitting they are winding up their investments and closing their firm down soon.) What does this mean for Stretch with Worldview shutting down and Oak in trouble? There's a Ponzi scheme at work here and I hope Matt and his team shine light on it and report it to the readership. Check out the common investors between Stretch and Pixim, and between Stretch and Tensilica. Check out how much money went into Tensilica, which firms invested and how much and who sat on their board and what became of Tensilica and how that is being spun into a Stretch story. Ditto for Pixim-Stretch. One of those investing firms is closing down and another is having trouble raising funds (all this VentureBeat reported already!) so what lies ahead for Stretch?
