Investors at a giant tech conference couldn't stop talking about a one-month-old app called Anchor

▤ Summary

Belsky is an early investor in Pinterest and Uber; the former Adobe executive is now a partner at venture capital firm, Benchmark. Additionally, the idea of chatting back and forth with anonymous strangers on the Internet doesn’t sound all that fun or safe. If Anchor’s community starts getting filled with trolls like many anonymous comment boards online are, it’s not going to be very fun to listen to hate speech directed at you, read aloud in your ear. It’s not easy to launch a consumer app now that many of the most popular ones, including Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram, have hundreds of millions of users. There’s one man who pretends to be Jigsaw from the horror movie “Saw,” but instead of making death threats he offers life advice.
