Told You So Ashton, Ooma Crashing

VoIP startup Ooma, that launched 14 months ago with the help of Ashton Kutcher is getting close to drawing up the will.
Key executives have already left and rumor has it they don’t have much left of the original $26m raised previously.
Sling Media marketing exec (guru) Rich Buchanan is going to come on the scene with the additional $16m Oooma just raised to try and pump life back into the company.
Rich led the Sling marketing team to 500,000 units sold as of this past July. Its a lot easier to do when you have a great product.
Would love to hear what is on the minds of the returning investors: Draper Fisher Jurvetson, WorldView Technology Partners, Founders Fund, WI Harper Group, Draper Richards and the only new investor, Telecommunications Development Fund
Maybe they should include an Ooma on an episode of ‘Punk’d’

More ignorant comments. I have a slingbox and an Ooma both are fantastic devices. I couldn't be happier with both of them. What's probably on the mind of returning investors is "I've used this product and it's fantastic. And once people start using it they will also see how fantastic it is." And what's with the Ashton Kutcher hating. It sounds more like you're jealous of him than anything else related to the product.

Hopefully Rich Buchanan can turn it around. Its not as needed as Slingbox though, so it will be tougher to push. Nice 'punkd' reference.

@Andrew - There's no doubting the slingbox is a great device but Oooma....not so sure.
