Yeah, but very few companies start with plans to be "flipped". The reality is that the failure rate of startups is very high, the exit options are few, and privacy policies generally aren't worth the digital bits they're stored on. While you may have the best of intentions (and I genuinely believe you do) it's still not enough to let me give you access to all of my e-mail. I already do this with Google; shifting my e-mail to a new service is not practical so I would simply have two companies with access to all my e-mail instead of one. I'm also suspicious what you get out of the deal: you know how it goes, if you're not paying for the product, then you are the product... At least with Google, I know and understand their intentions.

I wish you the best of luck, because this is a hard space to play in.
