Customers hate reading directions, and many people seem totally incapable of following written instructions. How can you ensure that your service improves outcomes over a call center?

I agree with this sentiment. Large pull requests are large because they have to be. If they're large because you were too lazy to make many PRs, then your process is broken and this won't fix it. When reviewing a 50+ file PR (that

So this is subscription streaming radio? Spotify lets you share playlists with friends. What would make somebody use your service instead of that? Is it the live listening feature?

I would guess that this market is pretty small. How big is it, actually? Could you be more generic and include logs for other things? For example, this could be useful for car owners.

Sounds similar to other content-targeting ad networks. There's even one (or a few) that will inject links into the body of text with ads. How will you beat these established players?

Is this targeting the indie filmmaker market? How big is that market in Africa? What other markets could you expand to with the same technology? Or is this like an African-focused YouTube targeting amateurs? How is adoption of video sharing

I'm worried about a disconnect with the actual workflows of journalists. In my very limited exposure to journalists, they take notes in a journal and probably make digital voice recordings. Is this still true? If so, how will you convi

I still don't see the value as a user. > 1. Your swipes are good anywhere. San Francisco or Indiana, you pay the same amount every month. The vast majority of my time is spent in one city; this is true for most people. Also my prefe

I think your problem doesn't actually exist. I've had roommates for years and have always been fine with direct in-person communication, texting, or post-it notes. How many people have you pitched this to that validated your assum

Imagine I was running a small company and I heard about your product but I'm skeptical of the value I'll get from using it. How can you convince me that spending money on gifts for my customers is worth it? What evidence do you ha

A similar thing happened at every Space Shuttle launch I was lucky enough to go to. I wouldn't read too much into it. A few people get really excited and proud to be American when they see a display of some impressive literally-earth-s

Is this actually better solved by audio than by text? Audio will require full attention and doesn't allow people to scan comments. It seems like a lot of work to actually be involved in a conversation like this.

Something like this is sorely needed. Do all participants need to be using your software for anyone to benefit, or will I see the value by running it myself even if my coworkers aren't? How will you prevent meetings from bouncing aroun

This idea is pretty well proven in Africa and Central/South America. What do you know about the existing markets and how will you do it better?

Interesting idea, but your description on kickstarter makes it seem like you have some big security problems. How will you ensure privacy? How will you build a network of users?

How much are users willing to pay for this? Assume someone launched an open source tool that pulls data from segment (or maybe segment launches this themselves) -- how do you compete? What are you doing better than they can?
