Marissa Mayer's app cofounder just quit — days after their Shine photo-sharing app debuted
- Marissa Mayer's company just launched Shine, a photo-sharing app.
- Enrique Munoz Torres, her cofounder, just quit the company.
When former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer tweeted about the launch of her new app, some people roasted Shine's outdated aesthetic and questioned the purpose of the photo-sharing app.
Shine was the third app launched by Sunshine, a company Mayer cofounded with Enrique Munoz Torres, who had also worked with Mayer at Yahoo and Google.
Sunshine's apps were deceptively simple: a birthday-reminder app, a contact-management app, and Shine, a way to pool photos taken by different people at the same birthday party or event. These apps had some light artificial-intelligence integration and probably appealed to boomers.
Munoz Torres posted this note on his LinkedIn on Wednesday:
Munoz Torres told Business Insider he didn't have a comment beyond his LinkedIn post.
A representative for Sunshine told BI: "Enrique played a pivotal role in our team's work developing Sunshine's products, including the recently-released Shine app for photos and events."
