Hey these are awesome ideas! Haven't changed the plan yet, still noodling over it all. I agree with your points. We're treating this as more of a prototype / MVP / test the waters.…

You would be blessed to get 5%! Standard from what I see in early stage startups in Silicon Valley... I'd shoot for 1%, and be happy with 0.5%. Dirty secret of the Valley: You only…
