Great to see. These workers have been exploited for way too long.
In NYC for example over 95% of drivers were being paid less than min wage.
Fulcrum is the simplest platform for margin and has the lowest borrowing rates

Hi guys, I made a number of comments on that piece. Please let me know if there are any that you would like to be revised/looked more closely at.
Also you can find me on Twitter where I have over 150 tweets about this from the weekend. Would love to hear your POV.

This space is difficult.
Consumers absolutely love these coverage services but so far we haven't seen a low cost and viable business created yet.
GoButler is pivoting to automated travel booking
UPDATE 2 : I have reached out to Mike three times now. Still haven't heard anything back. Possible stonewalling.
UPDATE: I reached out to the founders Mike and David on January 7th about this thread.
I received no response yet, but my twitter account was promptly blocked by David. http://f.cl.ly/items/1x3Y1h2n0i1Q1F3e1H1f/Screen%20Shot%2020...
I will be reaching back out to Mike in a week and will update you guys. Thx.
yea Mark, you are right. I did learn an expensive lesson.
One of my main frustrations though was that this was a very highly regarded YC company. Should consumers expect this disrespectful behavior to be accepted from other YC companies as well?
Should YC founders be expected to be able to simply pick and choose which customers they want to arbitrarily delete?
I can completely understand if this was a fly by night operation. But YC is basically the Harvard of startups and this was completely out of left field for me.
At the time, Magic was one of the hottest startups in the Valley. I was willing to hustle hard to get my foot in the door.
But I agree with you, I need to be more judicial with my time in the future.
I think that is misleading.
I believe the employees are only paid $15 an hour.
This is exactly the same question I asked them yesterday: https://twitter.com/davecraige/status/684429034676092928
They haven't responded yet.
Yea, I gave Magic access to setup recurring donations to two charities I support.
Unfortunately they closed my account and stopped the donations. They provided no information on when the last donations went out so I could resume them.
They went completely dark.
Yes, thank you. That is the whole story. You can read it if you want.
I spent over $3,250 traveling to Silicon Valley. I spent over 60 hours of intense work to do a project for free for them that they requested.
I delivered them a beautifully custom 38 page research report that you can see here: http://f.cl.ly/items/3f3u1e14273P2v2a1Y2J/CAP1.pdf
I was treated like a second class citizen and tossed to the side. My account was deleted. I contacted all 4 of the founders. Not one would respond. They went dark.
I would hope that no one else gets treated as poorly as I was and experience this type of disrespect.
Mike,
As you know I had a very bad experience with Magic as well.
I worked for you for free for a week and on boarded 63 new customers for you. You guys arbitrarily deleted my account, and abruptly shut off my autopay donations to numerous charities we had set up together.
Then you went silent and wouldn't return any of the ten messages I sent to you asking for access to my personal records and information regarding my numerous charity donations.
How can I encourage others to use your service if I was shown such an unprofessional and disrespectful experience?
