#4I'm not really in Octopart's demographic so I can't attest to its usefulness, but the comments on Reddit seem incredibly positive. You must be doing something right. Congrats on the continued praise and positive feedback you guys seem to be getting.

Although, unfortunately, the time v.s. maturity of audience curve for reddit really shines through here...
Here is a comment that really sums it up, though:
this lists all the parts that may fit your description, then when you choose one it gives you who has it, how many in stock and for how much w/ price breaks. !!!!! 15 mins of searching reduced to 30s. I wish I had that last semester...

#8The entire thing is pretty funny - we never thought an electronic parts search engine would get on the front page of reddit. Here are the reddit stats: 4056 unique ips, ~10000 queries
The reddit post also got us traffic from popurls.com (157), wired.com (37), and some random traffic from stumbleupon.
I have a new appreciation for reddit comments. Redditors are extremely intelligent people expressing well thought out points of view which I agree with whole heartedly. I'm going to start using the testimonials in our VC slide deck.
