I love the simplicity of this website! It also tackles a good problem employers have.
Thank you. We hope so.

#62Earlier quoted context omitted.
I agree, at first I thought it was a service that taught you how to roll sushi. It wasn't until I read other bits of information spread out on your page that I started to figure it out.
hehe, i also thought that about the sushi...
awesome job! Although can someone else start a company that teaches you how to make sushi...

#63My only concern with benefit programs like these is if I'm earning less income because the company is allocating money for benefits I may not need.
Yes, this would be a complete turn-off for me.

#64One minor suggestion that I think is super important. Smile in your headshot photo man. No teeth = no confidence, which means people are less likely to put their trust in you. Great site. Good job.

#65Small quibble, but I don't like that you mentioned Game of Thrones along with Netflix and Hulu. Those online services don't have Game of Thrones. The only way to watch any HBO show is to have a cable subscription or buy the episodes directly.

#66Very nice work! Could you maybe test switching the left and right part of the above the fold part? When I visited I started reading something about Sushi making and assumed you were teaching sushi classes.
Hah. You bring up a good point. We'll definitely do some A/B testing as we begin to have more visitors to our website. As we only went live an hour ago, we didn't accumulate enough homepage data to begin testing our assumptions.
you've just went live and already have testimonials?

#67Really sharp! I've been developing for years and a lot of my stuff doesn't look this sharp... =/

#68Congratulations! You'll never regret this decision... unless of course you get so immersed that you begin to hate computers because nothing ever works.

#69How does the company name relate to the service itself? Do you help uncover "hidden gem" employees? Or does a client need to do that themselves, but you only help in arranging the reward? If you don't help to identify those who go above and beyond, the name is a little distracting as it's the kind of name that makes it seem like there ought to be this functionality.
That might be a good direction to consider going in the future. Have an API which companies can integrate into their existing systems to push metrics your way (whether they do the integration themselves or through IFTTT, Zapier, etc.) with thresholds set on your side to "Uncover" the star performers in the organization. A manager can then periodically go into their dashboard, review who the system has uncovered (exceeded the thresholds), and pick and choose who gets rewards.
