Hi Voisin, we understand your point, and our intentions when we built the tool and also now is to create value for the users, and that’s what we want to make money from, nothing else.

We shared the story, because we wanted the people to know that we are real people building a real product and who we are, so our users can connect with us at personal level, and also that as students and recent grad, we are full of energy and we will be building a great value product.

The idea of sharing our story (which resounded with us) came from talking to some early testing users, and they shared that in a product where we are providing lifetime access, it is needed that we open up our story to people and let them know who we are.

From your point, I understand it might not exactly sound that way to everyone, and we need to improve our messaging more, but our intentions are to sell the product not our story.

We hope you understand and we would love to have you on fundingfyre.

Also, thanks a lot for your response, really appreciate it.

I would encourage you to think more deeply than platitudes like this. Every product is made by real people, and by “real product” what are you even talking about?
