CompassMD http://compassmd.com/ is addressing #1 and are getting great traction from what I hear.

This is more talking about people who asked for an intro, but then don't reply when they get it.

Great point. An unwanted intro can annoy everyone involved.

I actually wrote this because I've given several intros in the last month where the person I introduced never replied. Then I get an email from the person I introduced them to a few days later saying "What's up with that?".

Just embarrassing.

Or letting an intro sit and rot in your email box without replying. Drives me nuts.

Then the Lumia is a copy of the nano from a few gens ago.

I didn't realize they had the single Qualcomm chip for CDMA/GSM back on the 4S too. That's a nice piece of tech.

I would say if you're looking for straight up accounting xero, lessaccounting, or QuickBooks would be the way to go.

If you want a financial dashboard independent of accounting, Mint or indinero make the most sense at the moment.

We built http://60mo.com as a forecasting tool first and foremost, and it integrates with QB and QBO now (and other tools soon) to bring in actual data. We've got a lot more coming down the pipe, so give it a try!

Shares or options? At the most recent value, that's ~$90k in shares, and would be taxed as such, no? Options would be better from a tax perspective.

Recent funding != stable, what do the books look like? I'm going to guess not profitable. Was the round C to stay alive, or expand operations / R&D / Sales? Have they even flirted with profitability?

Do you feel like the comp package (minus the equity) is fair? Do you know if you'll even be empowered (really) to drive a new product or are you walking into a political mess and are going to get canned before the shares even vest (is there a vesting schedule?)

Lots of questions to factor in. My opinion is always to ask them all, and their willingness to answer (regardless of the answer's content) will tell you everything you need to know.

Yes, in general, simplicity in design is good, but I agree that 37signals takes it a step too far by deciding what their customers need or don't need.

Attitudes aside, it's great that they are successful.I understand the concept of forced scarcity through limited features and staffing, but I don't agree with their attitude with their customers.

Sure, 92% of their customers are happy with them, they provide a month to month service, the unhappy ones left long ago.
