We try to be really open, friendly and helpful. If there is something we can do to try to be friends, let me know. Lunch is on me if you want to chat. For everyone else, we have plenty of cash left, more than enough to get to profitability. We are still growing fast and adding new customers, in an environment where most companies are trying not to shrink. Plus, a number of organizations that understand what it takes to build a long term successful company have given us awards or investment (Matrix Partners, General Catalyst, MITX, Red Herring, Always On, American Venture Magazine, etc.) We really look forward to building a long term successful company helping thousands of small and medium sized businesses.

They clain "Inbound Marketing" but have used many forms of "Interruption Marketing" such as Google Ads to drive traffic to their site. Their spaming on Twitter for their Friday TV show is at the very least bothersome. There is a difference between being a think tank and trying to sell services to small and medium size business. I can't see a bunch of MIT Frat boys talking to a owner of a small or medium size business about marketing. Their count of 2,000 customers is laughable. 50 employees and a load of cash bring in about $6 million in revenue means that they are burning money. Two years and they will be gone.
