It's not a VC company. We actually usually buy majority stakes, this was a bit of an exception - www.tinycapital.com

Hey Steve,
We view this as a business within a business. Nobody from the Flow development team is being distracted with Concierge, it's just another part of the MetaLab umbrella.
Also, I find it weird that you think us "focusing on monetization" is a bad thing. What's wrong with having a sustainable business?

Of course, definitely a lot of money. We funded using cash from doing client work part-time.

"but it didn't copy it pixel-by-pixel" They used their image assets. How much more pixel-by-pixel can you get?

Hm. We do have an awesome web experience—it's our primary focus—and we're working on a mobile-friendly web version as well.
