I don't really get what cloudkick does, likely because I don't use the "cloud", but it seems to me that cloudkick can correct a few things:
1. Free is good, but asking for money will teach you early in the game what people will pay for and what not. A small amount like 750k does not allow you expand, it just allows you more time before you can discover what part of your service people will pay for - and that is bad
2. The first person they hired seems overqualified.
3. Their blog and overall message seems very distant. "Team Cloudkick", "We" and the quasi-corporate speak is exactly the wrong tone to use to approach the developer crowd - who are the core audience for this tool
4. Screenshot on their frontpage does not convey anything to me.
I'm sure that the idea they have is good, but I have a feeling that the people behind cloudkick are not too competent, and that they will bungle their opportunity.
- jacquesm 17y agoIn todays market 750K is not 'a small amount', especially not for a company that launched less than 6 months ago. > I have a feeling that the people behind cloudkick are not too competent, and that they will bungle their opportunity. Why do you have that feeling ?
