Our top blog contributor just did a a little overview on his assessment of last Friday's Shark Tank episode and Scan's pitch. Feel free to read it here: http://qfuse.com/blog/abcs-the-shark-tank-and-scan/
Overall: we feel this episode was great exposure for the QR Code "space" in general; it provides awareness of the technology and a good view into 'Connected Media' strategy (i.e. fusing online and offline). However, we were very confused and agitated by the founder's ridiculous valuation. This was potentially a "visibility play" with no real intention of getting legitimate funding. Hell, the guy wore flip flops for crying out loud! Ultimately we don't feel Scan is a serious contender to the 'real' professional solutions out there--like Qfuse.com, ScanLife, or VisualLead--especially when you consider the fact Scan is not yet exploring future-forward technology like NFC. They also have a mobile site builder which is clunky and poor UI/UX. Very poor pitch but glad that the visibility of QR and connected media is getting out there. That's good for everyone!
