Tells me basically nothing about the product. Wants email address. I see this trend far too often.
They don't have a product. They want to build one. Thats the difference and pretty smart in that market.

i'm with you are on this one as well. i'm tried of seeing these "startup" sites that basically show you nothing of the product yet want you to trust them with your email address. how do i know there is even a product behind this site? this could all be an elaborate attempt at email harvesting a niche group.

Tried it ?
Tried their demo setup, few months ago (around the time when they graduated from Mozilla WebFWD). Keen to try out getgrasp.
I'm the project manager for BigBlueButton. Our goal is to provide remote students a high-quality on-line learning experience. Building an open source web conferencing system is no small task, but it is very satisfying.
I noticed in their 'about us' they stated "That’s why we built dozeo". Funny, I thought they built dozeo using BigBlueButton :-).
Want to try another demo? We're adding webRTC audio to BigBlueButton. Check out http://webrtc.blindsidenetworks.com/.

#25They never say what's wrong with existing products. I'm sure they aren't perfect but they do the following:
Everyone is familiar with them
They're reliable and scalable
They're cheap for the presenter to use
They have clients for Mac, PC, iDevices...

Maybe some "startups" using this technique to harvesting email addresses. But in this case, we need the email to inform about the current progress and select future beta users. We know the problem with this kind of landing pages, but this is a good way to proof the concept, acceptance, get feedback and work together with future customers.

At the beginning we used BBB for our prototypes, but we have developed a completely new infrastructure and client over the last years.

It redirects you depending on your browser language... Maybe a bug! Here is the en version: http://survey.getgrasp.io/en
Redirects me to the DE page as well (and it shouldn't), pretty strange bug.
Where are you from? Maybe you can give me your browser lang code from http://aruljohn.com/lang.php That would be great :)

No offense but that is exactly what all those "startups" do... or say they do.

#30I think you might need to come up with a different term, because my brain's finding it too hard to imagine "webinar" and "not suck" together. :)
