I'd say just as many tree's here as any college town really. PS hi chris.
I never heard it called tree town. The wayback machine page for the Wikipedia citation only says "Tree City USA", which is a thing the Arbor Foundation does for lots of towns.
So either the citation is out of step with the original page or a goofball put that in Wikipedia.

#7Do these guys have an open data for academic/research purposes?

#8> And importantly, they started out doing something that any two programmers could have done.
Which is funny because many VCs in SV ask the question (explicitly or implicitly) "is this something two Stanford CS students can do?" If the answer is yes, they move along.
I want more FarmLogs stories to exist.

This is a silly question to ask, and I don't think most people ask it (or at least, not in this way). For almost anything any team can do, you have to assume there will be five other teams, just as good or better, doing the same exact thing.
So the right question to ask is "what is the distribution edge of this particular team?" For example, if you're first to market and have incredibly high growth, there is a good chance it will be impossible for other teams to catch up.
Product complexity is almost never a competitive advantage, and I think most VCs understand this much better than you give them credit for.

#10The company seems very cool. One off topic thing that I can't help but note - just loading their homepage requires 113 HTTP requests. It's crazy heavy with tracking and designy tags.
