HN discussionI knew I had heard the names before (I live in Seattle), and I have nothing but nice things to say about this team. It seems they shut down their other venture at the same time: https://spokely.com/ (there is cert issure your browser will rightly complain about) Found it referenced on this personal brand page: http://brandonhilkert.com/ Best of luck to them and onwards indeed!
