Oof, oof, oof. Strong agree on this being a bad fit for VC funding.

It seems like if they’re trying to get into the corporate wiki space (which is the only place I can imagine there being VC-money-type return), that’s going to necessitate different focus on features from what makes sense for the personal brain-backup user.
