60,000 dollars is not a ton of money where social networks are concerned, but for struggling startups, it can be a big deal.

Teen social messaging and gamification service Let has raised the money they needed, after failing to reach their target audience for 5 or 6 months.  In a bold move, Let’s founder, Pascal Lorne, bought out the other  co-founders and worked with the developers to revamp everything.

Now users can post photos, videos, and other content, and give out stars for posts they like. The posts and users with the most engagement are then featured on a leaderboard.

Hopefully other promising startups can be as successful and driven as Let has been so far.
