Seems very well executed. Congrats!

When I last had a need for something like this confidentiality was a major concern (it was at a small-ish but publicly traded company). Not quite at the level of needing signed contracts, but at the same time something more than a random web service someone unnamed threw together would be required.

I notice that you haven't put your names and backgrounds on the site - that would help in building credibility. Demonstrating the YC backing would also help.

Agreed with building credibility. We'll add our names and backgrounds along with the YC backing on our website soon.

Also, we plan to support an on-premises option in the future.

Names and pictures don't help in building credibility, because you can put any name you want and any picture you want online. What is that supposed to prove?
When you have a name, some background and perhaps a photo you can do some superficial background research using open resources. I do it all the time. Is it foolproof? no. Is it better than nothing? yes.
