love this! needed this at the last company I worked out. Was always surprised how manual and generally not secure the whole process seemed to me.

thanks! so far the companies we’ve talked to are delaying full-blown reviews as long as possible because of the stage of company they’re in. We certainly do work very closely with each company to work through their product and integrate as

thank you! We’re starting out of the gate with COPPA and will fast-follow with GDPR so we currently cover the United States (in English). re: spoofing. this is a tough problem to solve and no existing solution guarantees this. we would be a

thanks! the laws do change across country lines. while we’re focused on the U.S. right now, we’re actively researching applicable laws in other jurisdictions.

I was JUST talking about how I wish it was easier to collect customer insights and share them out more broadly in internal newsletters. Kudos. Nailed a serious serious pain point.

Sounds a bit like the Lindy Effect. The idea that the future life expectancy of an idea is directly proportional to its current age. In this case, old books that have lasted till the present day have a lot higher likelihood of having stayin

What's the service? If it's a local one, you're way better off doing it in a market that you are familiar with (your hometown). Not sure what you really mean by "not known for startups" and that shouldn't matt

Congratulations on the launch. This is a rare instance where the combination of cost, technology, and ease of use makes this solution 10x better than the status quo and a no-brainer. How extensible is this to other tests? Is it just a matte

While this is exciting, this is not always a good thing. Two years ago, we tried this at Homejoy as an incentives for the cleaners to get 5 stars.ie. If you get 5 's on your appointment, we'll pay you out the same day. We did this

The goal/intent/promise with these companies is always train AI to automate the process. This is good for both "buzz" and cost reasons long-term. Companies describe the AI as two-fold: 1) actual AI responding to your req

this is effectively what postmates did in the early days, which was to offer delivery from places without delivery mechanisms, which inherently isn't wrong. interesting approach to try and outrank the restaurants' own sites, if th
