Aereo’s Founder Is on to His Next Project
The guy behind Aereo, the promising but ultimately doomed streaming TV startup ruled illegal by the Supreme Court last year, reportedly has something new cooking.
According to Re/code, Aereo founder and CEO Chet Kanojia has launched something called Project Decibel with members of his old team. There’s little in the way of detail as to what exactly Project Decibel is, but it seems like it’s meant to be a place from which the crew’s next big idea could sprout. From the report:
People familiar with Project Decibel alternately describe it as an incubator or lab for Kanojia and his former engineers to work on new ideas and technology. Kanojia declined to comment.
Project Decibel is set up in both Boston and New York, according to its website. The South Boston and Manhattan addresses listed on Project Decibel’s website are both locations of New York-based startup and coworking space provider WeWork.
While Aereo was based in New York, it kept most of its employees in Boston. Aereo shuttered its Summer Street office in November and declared bankruptcy shortly thereafter.
