Not the OP, but I am one of the guys behind SA. First of all, thank you for the nice emails and the gmail recommendation (we are answering emails and hope to fix this ASAP). Bobby and I deployed this Saturday afternoon and told 3 people, so this caught us a bit by surprise. Apologies if we reply late to folks.

I must note that both Bobby and I agree that we are very fortunate to work in an industry like tech. The reason we started this site, was because we wanted to do 2 things:

1. Pay it forward - when we closed our companies, people who heard about our troubles, some non-friends helped us out. We wanted to pay back the community which gave us so much.

2. Start small - Bobby and I know precious little about the world, but this is one area where we thought we could actually help.

Thanks once more for the support, and if you would like to be part of the folks of willing to listen to others, hit us up. @mexitlan and @bomatson.


[transparency: I work at spire.io] It says part 3, but we wrote it thinking it to be reader-friendly enough for someone unfamiliar with earlier posts to jump in. Comments and feedback are always helpful. Thanks a bunch.
