I was skeptical, but looking at the features it could replace Evernote for the way I use it. The main reason I don't use a directory full of text files is I like being able to drag in images.

Restated: Pick the right startup, grit your teeth, work there for the 10+ years it takes to go public, and trust it won't steal your equity, a la Zynga. Even if you do pick the right startup, you should be able to leave to pursue other
