Firebase is a great, especially if you want to rapidly develop or test new things. It's saved us days/weeks of time not having to worry about structuring/restructuring our backend and allowing us to focus on getting the UX/design of our app down first.

This has been extremely valuable for our small team -- we've been using Firebase since the beginning and are a big fan of the technology. By abstracting this part of our product away for the short term while we build and iterate, it's probably doubled our productivity - just in the short term, of course (and assuming it would take half of my time/focus to be building/maintaining backend code).

Plus, James and Andrew are always super responsive whenever we bug them for stuff.. they know how to keep their users happy.

One of our exciting new companies at SSE Labs! Congrats on the article - Game Closure is a strong group of hackers if I've ever seen one.

quick clarification - you need to have at least one founder who is a current or recently graduated Stanford student (enrolled within the last 3 quarters, including summer).
