I'm glad you came out and spoke about it rather than ranting about it. Remember Sahil is a famous guy around the startup circle, so dont expect a million dollar funding just because yours looks like gumroad. Have a business model that will make you revenue and build your user base. Listen to your customers and make it the way they want. Put some thought into refunds policies and Rating system that gumroad doesnt have yet.

I felt that gumroad funding was more for Sahil's credentials and than for gumroad itself, so please take that into account.

Hey, thanks for your comment!

Indeed he is, however both myself and my partner are from the UK. To some extent I believe this is a great opportunity since the London tech scene is progressively getting bigger and it gives us a chance to grow with it. Having someone such as Sahil of similar age and ability to look up to is something invaluable and quite honestly very encouraging.
