I don't have any data, but I feel the sentence "Angel investors, on the other hand, seem either to be walking away or raising an institutional seed fund of their own." is one of the likely explanations. In Denmark (where I li

Cue 100 comments about "you are paying with your data", but I use the following tools (happily) without paying for them with money: Gmail and the Google suite of products (drive, chrome, etc), Feedly, various social networks, Hubs

1) We have become pretty good at using Slack casually as well. We have #random where people talk about anything. 2) We do daily-standups on Slack where some of the questions are around how people feel and what they have been doing outside o

I agree - outreach is probably not the right wording. What we mean is that if our employees know someone great in their network, we would love for them to tell those people to come and work with us. Also, we are a small team (12 people), so

This quote "By that I mean the freemium model should offer the client the chance to grow — equality of opportunity — and if it does happen that they grow and become profitable, the SaaS starts charging based on that. In a sense, value-

Congratulations on the round Austen and team! One thing I have always thought about when it comes to incentives in this model is that you have an incentive to only take in students that are likely to finish the degree and get a high paying

"The conflict is that the bigger the company, the higher the bar for entry." is that true? I would think that the bar to get in is lowered as you need more and more people. Of course, some institutions like Google manage to make a

You are right, at this point we only allow students to submit one piece of work. The reason is to limit confusion on the reviewers side and to ensure that proper context is kept - it is not always possible to review the conclusion without t

Thanks! We originally built Peergrade just with email/password login because we started with a focus only on higher education. When we got the first users from schools that didn't have emails, we had to rethink the login flow. Usi

Thanks for the comment! I looked at WHOOPPEE a while ago and it is great work. We have thought a lot about doing rankings instead of grading/assessing each piece of work individually with evaluation criteria. On one hand, I believe tha
