I had sorta forgotten about those guys after the unfavorable media about security vulnerabilities. As a developer I know how important it is to have security built into the foundation of a product and since that first impression I'm just not convinced that they have the technical chops to build a solid product if they didn't get security right.

Thanks for the invite but I think I want to wait a little bit longer and see where they go.

they are currently working with the Pivotal Labs team. They are not building it on their own - they have technical/backend/security support now.
