I wholeheartedly agree that NYC is no threat to Silicon Valley. That being said, for my individual startup, why the hell should I care if there is a microprocessor company, network equipment provider, computer company, etc etc etc? I can't

I think the point is that some businesses make more sense in New York - some businesses really need rapacious dealmakers and not fierce coders/nerdy visionaries. Dating has changed a lot, even in the past couple of years. Being part of a st

+1 on the importance/usefulness of the 500 family. TK nailed it with the N:N model. A complaint that I've heard is that 500 is too big and that Dave has spread himself too thin. I couldn't disagree more... Dave has made himself and his conn

Awesome. We will be adding Samurai in the near future, but aren't there yet. If anyone wants to contribute, drop me a line https://samurai.feefighters.com/developers

Yup, it's a wrkinprogress ;) We just launched into public beta. We aren't charging anyone because we know there are rough edges on our site.

Thanks! I will give a shoutout to the guys who helped us with the video: http://demoduck.com . They were a joy to work with.

Yup... our backend allows for that but we haven't built the connection to any foreign platforms just yet.

PayPal does NOT have single rate pricing. AmEx is 3.5%... See the disclosures at the bottom of the page here: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/website-payments-pro That being said, we'd love to do that but you need to be of a certain si

That is a completely fair question. If you use Recurly/Spreedly/Chargify/CheddarGetter, you still need a gateway and merchant account. Samurai is both. Braintree does recurring billing, but doesn't do a great job at it. It also could turn o

From our perspective - we really really want to be international. We would LOVE to deal with non-US companies and people and hope to do so soon, but for our particular business it's a bit hard right now. Creating relationships with credit c

Thanks, I didn't think of that. Clarification noted above.

Another question is on recurring billing: At this point, we've we are making a conscious decision that recurring billing logic should be outside of the gateway... none of the gateways handle it particularly well and it is actually kind of a

Hey guys, to answer the most popular question: Samurai is not yet functional for merchants outside of the US (but it does take international cards). The original FeeFighters product (comparison shopping for merchant accounts) is in Canada t

Mike - this is really awesome of you to do. Current need: We're launching a payment gateway, called Samurai ( http://feefighters.com/samurai ) next week. Unlike other gateways (Authorize.net, Braintree, Cybersource, etc) is that it's modern

Joel completely nailed it - if you can get on stage at a big conference, do it. Another question is: Should you go to a conference like TCDisrupt but present at Startup alley? We (FeeFighters) did that. We aren't launching anything sexy tha

One thing we learned is picking a good name is something you should do from the start. We spent considerable time and energy replacing our earlier terrible name (TransFS) with one we like (FeeFighters). The process was pretty similar to Fog

PayPal does a number of things (stored value system, aggregation, virtual terminal, etc). I'm not sure how Noca is a competitor at all. Also, this page has a number of inaccuracies. For example, chargebacks don't exist for checks, Authorize
