congrats to a great team and amazing execution! FundersClub isn't the first in the space, but it's definitely the first to gain so much traction in such little time. I hope they keep killing it!

I think inflection point would be determined by: a. Funding - I mean, you need to pay these guys a bunch. Equity can get you only so far b. Stage - I think hiring a stellar VP of Sales with a half-made product is not going to play out well
