Same exact questions here. Also interested in their business model and how they plan to achieve profitability. Any VC worth their weight wouldn't touch a startup like this with a 10-foot pole. We all saw what happened to Groupon and their approach in dealing with small and independent restaurants. Why would I as a pizza shop owner want to join your network? Are there systems in place to ensure that demand does not exceed supply? How do you ensure that a certain standard of pizza quality is met by all members of the pizza network? I'd like these questions answer before you get me to download your app to find pizza.

>Also interested in their business model and how they plan to achieve profitability. Any VC worth their weight wouldn't touch a startup like this with a 10-foot pole. Zzzzzz. I find this reading is incredibly dense. What VC, profitablity, business model and such crap? They made a fun app, they are selling it. They don't intend to become the next Instagram or whatever. They just want to sell their cheaply produced app and make a decent buck. Like thousands of developers out there. Isn't it obvious? Not everything is a startup, looking for some VC, to validate some business model. Most apps people use are made like this. Including games -- which don't wait VCs or have "business models" other than: release the game, sell copies, profit. Of the top of my head, some examples of similar successful apps: iA Writer, Reeder, Letterpress, KitCam, Foldify, Soulver, Brushes, Camera+, Flashlight, Hundreds, Procreate, ...

  These people are trying to exploit the pizza market by taking advantage of desperate pizza workers and forcing them to join their walled pizza garden with promises of absurd profits. It's a shame that people are endorsing this very obvious and pathetic attempt to use pizza for their own success.

    But look at the growth! Yesterday I had one pizza, and today I have two. By the law of extrapolation that makes pizza compass the fastest growing company ever with a roughly 7.5X10^107% annual growth rate!
