Braintree is not a great example of a company that "didn't take VC." According to Crunchbase they raised a $34 million series A round and a $35 million series B round. BigCommerce also raised a $15 million series A round and a $20 million series B round.

Really? "Nerds?" I think the word you're looking for is "experts."

Do they have a competitor whose angle is customer-powered support? I don't know anything about this business, but this sounds like a response to a competitor.
