In 1996 there was a huge need for airfare search. Look at the success you've had.

On the contrary email in 2015 isn't a huge need or a pain point for most people.

Since you're entering a crowded market your product has to be 10X better. Currently it's probably not which is why most people perceive Inky as a marginal improvement.

Still I'd love to see other projects you're working on Dave. Clearly you're talented and with the right idea I could see you getting back to where ITA & Crash was.

Are you a venture capitalist? Because if not, you should be!
