"Keep your competition out! onetool accepts a limited number of partners for each service and pricing-tier. Most of your competition will not be onboard if you are."

Read as, we'll only support a limited number of vendors who approach us first, regardless of which the best solutions are.

More likely, they will only recommend the vendors they get the biggest cuts from. As a user this is no use.

I'm very skeptical this would work as a for-profit business, especially a VC backed one, because their will always be pressure to take a bigger and bigger piece of the revenue.

Interesting that their social proof lists a bunch of silicon valley companies that are probably about the least likely to have the issues I described.
