In our efforts to pivot Faqden Labs, we completely neglected IntelliVocab for over last 6 months. We were surprised to see few weeks back, that we have silently hit 500,000 users and still going strong. It is still rated as the top 10 SAT and GRE app on app store. As I wrote multiple times in the past, running a company with multiple co-founders with diverse background is probably the single biggest challenge you will face as an entrepreneur.
We had been struggling with split focus between education apps, enterprise apps and services since our inception. After a long and prolonged discussions, we decided to shut down our services group and focus exclusively on products. Within product we split the company into 2 separate division, one focusing on enterprise apps (www.xibird.com) and other focusing on the original vision of the company (education apps - www.faqden.com).
With renewed focus on turning around our education related product line, I am hoping, we can move the company back to its former glory. I will continue writing about my experience with the turn around efforts and challenges so that other entrepreneurs can benefit from it. Obviously this is good news for our IntelliVocab users as they will start seeing updates every couple of weeks compared to 0 updates in last 6 months.
I too thought it was dead...Glad to see you are coming back to it.
