I'm with you - the big companies should (and do) pay their interns. I also agree that it's a big win - you get to see how the students perform in your culture, and what quality work their produce. Massive win. But as a student, it's impor

Hopefully I'm not giving anything confidential away, but the answer is pretty straightforward: Buffer was able to prove that they can convert x% of their users to a paid service, with a very viral, rapidly growing user base. They proved tha
