Hey VonGallifrey, also thanks for giving this some decent feedback. While it's mostly criticism, been challenged like this is extremely valuable as it helps me address my own preconceptions and assumptions about the recruitment game! &

First mkautzm , thanks for the comments on this. Honestly, I'm glad to see debate as it allows me to really challenge how I feel about this beyond a short blog post. Just want to feedback on a few points: >It's considered norma

Whoop, awesome to see Trak.io in there! Cheers Marc, good roundup. For the record, we did launch private Beta but we've had to start limiting again as we pretty much had enough, and found we weren't managing support tickets as wel

Awesome, as a Kima company who took investment before this "Kima15" offer had been announced, I can say the biggest thing that attracted us over the other firm offers we had at the time was Kima's commitment to moving fast wi

Why would you want to file patents on a software startup anyway? Whatever you think you've invented, 9 teenagers are right now, independently making the same thing. Patents in software startups are a waste of money and a huge distracti

Get a bank loan, most banks will do upto £15k online instantly, with an instant wire to your account. Providing you're a home owner that's probably the fastest way I can think of.

Awesome, I think if that was a little more "idiot friendly" on the site page you'll see a higher conversion rate on that signup form. Credit card barriers on free trials is effective at 'keeping out time wasters' but you also keep out genui

I saw that, but assumed it meant "if you pay for 6 months, you'll get 6 months for free". So maybe just be a lot simpler and have a big banner across the top and repearted at the bottom of the pricing table: "6 Month Free Trial On Standard

Have you tried a Free trial? Without a Freemium, or even a Free Developer account, I think it's going to be hard to get the initial traction? p.s. Just a little feedback on the homepage: The left-right-left of the features/benefits is a lit
