What was the thinking behind the name? The only association I can make here is a cardboard sign "Will Work for Food".



The original intent of the company was to link startup founders with technical co-founders. In essence, developers could work for 'a slice of the pie'. This model did not get much traction, so they pivoted into a more traditional job matching / recruitment service.


I have to agree. The bit of my head responsible for tasteless comments would have a field day here if I was drunk enough to let it. Is the sort of name that will have some companies paying you late just because they find it funny.

Sorry to the people involved if this analysis seems harsh, I know it sucks to have your company fold.
