Why: We all have a background in working for large e-commerce and real-estate portals. We've seen our friends and (former) employers spend insane amounts of money for crawling their websites. As an alternative to paying some company to do it for them, they often reach for subpar desktop based tools which run out of breath with large websites or take way too long to complete. We've built our tech to run in resource constrained environments to keep costs down.
