Fanzter gets a Mustache
Posted by Aaron LaBerge on June 23, 2009
We’re excited to announce today that Fanzter has acquired Mustache, Inc., a Richmond, VA-based software development company. Mustache’s founder, Jon Maddox, will be joining Fanzter full-time and will lead technology and product development for the company. When we started Fanzter, we committed ourselves to hiring only the best people, launching the best products, and partnering with only the best companies. Our acquisition of Mustache is consistent with this theme and, in Jon, we are excited about the opportunity to add a brilliant entrepreneur and product-builder to our team.
Mustache has created several popular iPhone applications such as Summizer, Streaks, and Brackets. If you’ve ever tried any of these apps, then you know how elegant and useful they are. We’re proud to add these products to our growing portfolio.
This acquisition gives us an incredibly well-rounded product suite – a family of applications that are informational, entertaining, and a little bit addictive (we hope). It definitely takes Fanzter to a new level of excellence, and we’re looking forward to what’s next. We can guarantee it won’t be boring.

It’s been a while since this happened and since then the apps have been removed from the App Store. Are there any plans to put them back or improve them?
I’ve heard nothing but good things about the “Streaks” app and was really looking forward to trying out. Alas, it appears that it is no longer on the App Store. Is Jon still working for you? Are you planning on re-releasing the applications? Do tell.
Ditto the above. I got my iPod Touch after the acquisition and soon afterwards heard about Streaks but have never been able to get my hands on it.
Hey guys. We have been trying to relaunch for a few months. We ran into a few issues due to the fact that the app was previously published. We are currently one week into submission with the app store. We hope to be up again very soon. Stay tuned. Thank you for your patience.
