Numerous Shutting Down on May 1

Charlie Wood

02 February 2016

Today I have some bad news. Despite our best efforts, we’ve been unable to find a source of funding that will allow us to continue to operate Numerous. The service will be shutting down on May 1.

Colin, John, and I want to express our sincere appreciation for the support our more than 150,000 registered users and our valued partners have shown us. We believe we’ve created something with the potential to be profoundly important. We’ve been featured multiple times by Apple and have built a loyal following. That said, we have ultimately failed to put together the right combination of product, market, and message.

We’re of course extremely disappointed, but are at the same time proud of what we’ve built and what has been built on top of it. We know that thousands of users around the world—including the three of us!—will miss having Numerous available. Ultimately though we were unable to build a large enough user base to become self-sustaining.

Over the coming weeks we’ll be posting some additional thoughts about what we and our platform partners have built. In the mean time, let me just say thank you.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Best regards, Charlie
