1387 days ago Matt Asked HN for help on his elevator pitch.<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=814685" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=814685</a><p>Since then, they got told "No" by several hundred people, switched business models, landed President Freaking Obama as an anchor client, and have created more actual value than a thousand mobifotosocialgames without ever once being in TechCrunch. And things are starting to work for them, in a serious way.<p>Drinks are on me when they IPO. (Which, disclosure, if they IPO I will probably be able to afford, since I invested in an earlier round.)
Had the idea in October 2004, did a breadth-first search for a business model for almost 9 years, and now finally ... convergence.<p>Just thought the HN community would like to know.
