I really like the site. How did you come up with 7 days as a trial period? Seems like it may take longer than a week for someone to really see the value. I could be totally wrong though.
Agreed, 7 days doesn't seem like enough time. Maybe they should make it so your first 3 leads/deals are free to see if it works start to finish.

I don't think that big of a firm will sign up. I'm building a CRM for small businesses and makers. I don't think that large firms would enjoy it.
Still useful to have. The most basic version would be something like: 1. up to 10 users: $49/mo 2. 11–25 users: $99/mo 3. 26–100 users: $199/mo 4. 101+ users: call me EDIT: As anyone who has tried to buy a CRM will know, these prices are crazy low. Which is a good thing!

Hey! Thanks for your feedback! I just want to mention that Wobaka is $49 for all of your team, not per user. So if you're more than 3 users it's not more expensive :).
So if a firm with 50,000 employees signs up, you'll charge them $49? You should reconsider this pricing model because a client of any considerable size is both able and willing to pay for a product that is financially stable. $49 won't keep the lights on, and the fear of investing time and data into a system that won't survive financially due to poor pricing might scare off some potential customers.
People who spend time worrying about what could go wrong don’t make good business operators. The truth is, when you get a business off the ground so many things go fantastically wrong and so many go fantastically right and you’ll have not anticipated any of it.
Let the person who built this CRM focus on the only thing they really need to worry about: building an awesome product and getting people to pay them for it.
I found it a little hard to understand the differentiators. I think in a space like this, where there are already a host of established players, you should have the differentiating feature up front and easily consumable. I'd love to hear more about what other CRMs were missing (in a particular use case) and then hear what you did to fix it.

Thank you! It's Clojure + ClojureScript, using a view library called Rum :).
Wow! I love Clojure. Unfortunately never got to use at work and of course never built anything serious with it. Would you like to share more about your experience building a live product with Clojure? Did you face any challenges due to the smaller community and smaller set of libraries compared to something mainstream like Python or Go?
I've built products with Python, Ruby and Node before and Clojure has been super fun!
Not missing anything particular. Since it has interop with both Java and JS you can often find libraries if you like to.
May I ask how you did the product screenshots?

yeah. if you have 50k employees, you are already using salesforce with a LOT of custom code/workflow. a lot people seem to forget that there's a lot of b2b on the small-to-medium size.

This is an unnecessary worry. How about they cross that bridge when they get there? If they spent time worrying about all that _could_ go wrong, they’d of never have built anything.

Bad, yes. But boring? I really don't look for fun and excitement from work software.
Excel wouldn't become any more useful if it was painted pink and had wacky icons
