玛丽莎·梅耶正在关闭她的消费者软件初创公司Sunshine,并将资产转移到她的新公司Dazzle——一家人工智能个人助理公司。 此举是在Sunshine于2018年推出的联系人和活动管理应用程序未能获得进展之后做出的,尽管该公司在2020年获得了一轮2000万美元的融资,后来又集成了人工智能技术。 Sunshine面临隐私问题,下载量很少(Google Play上仅超过1000次)。 幸运的是,几乎所有投资者都已批准了这笔交易,Sunshine的整个团队将过渡到Dazzle。 据报道,梅耶主要依靠自有资金资助该公司,此次转型标志着重心转向蓬勃发展的人工智能市场,利用现有的人才和资源抓住新的机遇。

## 玛丽莎·梅耶尔重组人工智能业务 前雅虎CEO玛丽莎·梅耶尔正在关闭她的消费者软件初创公司Sunshine,并将它的资产出售给她的新人工智能公司Dazzle。 Sunshine的所有员工都将过渡到Dazzle。 此举引发了关于资产收购和员工转移相对于简单公司重塑的战略优势的讨论,潜在好处包括摆脱负债和清理投资者名单。 评论员指出,这种重组允许梅耶尔避免过去的义务,并可能吸引新的投资。 担忧集中在对早期投资者的公平性上,特别是那些可能无法参与新业务的投资者。 有人认为此举是确保资金的必要之恶,而另一些人则质疑鉴于过去的失败,投资者为何会再次支持梅耶尔。 一个反复出现的问题是,将资产与负债分离的法律策略,以及对原公司有未决索赔者提起诉讼的可能性。 这篇文章还因一个明显的语法错误(“隐私对隐私的担忧”)而引起关注,引发了关于在线新闻编辑标准下降的更广泛讨论。

Former Yahoo CEO Marissa Meyer is closing the doors on her consumer software startup Sunshine, and is selling the company’s assets to her new AI startup, Dazzle. The news was first reported by Wired, which cited an email sent to Sunshine’s shareholders.

Dazzle is setting out to build an AI personal assistant, the report cited anonymous sources as saying, and added that all of Sunshine’s employees will move to the new company.

Almost all of Sunshine’s investors, who include Norwest Venture Partners, Felicis Partners, and SV Angel, have signed off on the deal, Wired cited the sources as saying.

Originally founded in 2018, Sunshine first launched with a subscription app for contact management, dubbed “Sunshine Contacts.” That product saw little adoption due to privacy concerns about privacy, and pretty much languished. In 2024, the service added event management and photo sharing — with a touch of AI, of course — but with little success. Both apps have been downloaded just over 1,000 times on the Google Play Store.

The company had raised about $20 million in 2020, and according to Meyer, was largely self-funded.
