Without wishing to be the bearer of potentially bad news, I would suggest that you may run in to potential issues due to the below links, showing a UK registered trade mark for &#x27;Wigwam&#x27; and an active website for an estate agent going by that name. Due to the similarity of services and name, they would have a good case for trade mark infringement.<p><a href="http://www.ipo.gov.uk/tmcase/Results/1/UK00002311778" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ipo.gov.uk&#x2F;tmcase&#x2F;Results&#x2F;1&#x2F;UK00002311778</a><p><a href="http://www.wigwamonline.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wigwamonline.com&#x2F;</a><p>Apologies if this has already been addressed of course.

Are you associated with Rightmove at all? I couldn&#x27;t find an API on their site.<p>If not, how are you planning on monetizing this? You&#x27;ve got what appears to be quite a large team for a product that mentions nothing on pricing or &quot;how it works&quot;.<p>Design wise, its very clean. I love the colors and the logo. However, the very first screen is part of a trend that really irks me. Why use the entirety of my machine&#x27;s viewport to show me a screenshot, a couple words, and a CTA to request an invite when I know nothing about the product other than &quot;list properties&quot;? It looks good, don&#x27;t get me wrong, but I feel there is a missed opportunity to sell.

We&#x27;ve got a reputation in London for constantly iterating and not allowing customers a chance to get used to a product we&#x27;ve just released.<p>As such, we&#x27;ve got a new motto (during Ramadan): Break Fast and Move Things.<p>Thoughts? :)
