You've raised millions and you're spitballing monetization ideas on an internet forum?

Look, I'm all for second chances here. The past behavior of this company doesn't concern me as much as the pretty clear lack of strategy around how you plan to make money.

So this is what I've gathered so far (and correct me if I'm wrong on any of this):

- free product (based on the website)

- no serious mention of enterprise pricing or support (based again on the website)

- a promise in your TOS not to collect sensitive data (which almost all companies tend to modify, let's be honest)

- solicitation of monetization ideas on an internet forum by the CEO, having raised millions from VCs

This sounds like a product I'd stay away from if I cared about data collection.

Can you quantify how much money you're saving developers or companies who use this?
