Zapier co-founder here, we started it during the weekend and just kept it alive! ;-) It is helpful to work with people you know and are comfortable with (because if you do keep it alive, you'll basically be married to them). Plus, it helps to have a real business under the hood (not that weekend hacks are bad, but they usually die almost immediately).
