My question is, how do you get $500,000 for a feature you can get by clicking "Show Search Options" in Gmail? I do get the bigger picture but I don't see how to monetize it or prevent Google from mimicking it a 1000% better if it gets popular.

What is the investor expectation on runway for a seed round like attachments.me did? 12-18 months?

Very helpful benchmarks. Anyone know why there should be a premium per employee for a platform as a service company? Why is PaaS any different from any other startup with regards to a per employee burn rate?

I love stuff like this. It's like answering a question to which everyone wants to know the answer but is too ashamed or overly confident to ask.<p>It would be interesting to know the variance in responses. I know this wasn't meant to imply statistical significance, but I'm just curious what these results would be with a larger and more random sample.

We hire overseas, so we get by on around $6,000 per month per employee.
