Warning: Platform is down & founders are ghosting.
I’m writing this with a heavy heart as a loyal, long-time Sumo-ling. I invested in Connexify (Tier 3), truly believing in the potential of the tool. Fast forward 7 months, and the platform is completely dead (404 error) and the team has gone silent.
It is incredibly disappointing to see a project you backed at a high tier simply vanish. As someone who consistently supports AppSumo deals, I’ve always trusted this marketplace to vet the products we buy. When a founder "ghosts" the community like this, it’s the loyal customers who take the hit.
I love the AppSumo ecosystem, but stories like Connexify make it hard to keep investing in high tiers. I really hope the AppSumo team can step in here to hold these founders accountable or provide some protection for those of us who lost our investment. We look to you, AppSumo, to stand by your loyal community when a deal turns out to be "vaporware."
