“Lithium Technologies, a provider of social customer experience solutions for the enterprise.”

I feel like it doesn't matter if you build something amazing. Without the pedigree, you wouldn't be acquired for 200M by a social customer experience enterprise solution.

Their mission might seem generic to you, but I hear they actually have synergistic agile processes with a laser focus on industry standard value-add technologies.

I, too, have a random number generator that I am willing to part with on very reasonable terms, cash/equity split negotiable.

LOL. Does anyone even use Klout any more? It always seemed a bit pointless.
