This is as good of a place as any to ask:
Greg seems to be trying to charge not only a $150 fee to access the API (see price tiers), but also an unknown % cut of all app revenue: http://www.indiegogo.com/MiLifePlus http://www.indiegogo.com/MiLifePlus
It's one thing for Apple to do this when they have a huge install base, but is this really a smart move for a product with an install base of zero? What would possibly motivate me to shell out $250+ plus my hourly rate plus a revenue cut for an unproven hardware device with a customer base that is (generously) 1500 people?
Disclaimer: I've had many bad experiences with WakeMate.
- rabidonrails 14y agoIt's interesting to see him use the YC brand to launch his new company -- are they associated? Can he just walk with the WakeMate IP? Also, why does he seem to be whispering in the video? It's freakin me out. Update: Even more interesting, it seems that Greg had been tweeting from @wakemate even after leaving...shady shady shady

- technotony 14y agoDo you have more details on how they did this/what happened?
- vaksel 14y agoyeah it would make much more sense for them to just use the % cut. Get a bunch of developers tied to their platform...and get that market share
