Definitely a good point. It was a little last-minute :)

Can you think of any other known/notable families you'd like to see on there? I thought one with stock photos might be a little impersonal. But maybe that's the right call.

Kardashians.

I wrote this as a joke then realised that it would probably actually work. Well, maybe once you've moved out of the sphere of tech early adopters. Keep it on ice for now.. then, hell, get them to invest. Just tell them Ashton Kutcher is doing it.

Haha this is hilarious. Also love the idea of using the British Royal Family... though... I hope to be knighted one day.
You sir are brilliant. Would you like to advise our financing efforts?
There are lots of well-known sitcoms with extended families in them: Everyone Loves Raymond, The Cosby Show, etc. But if I were you, I'd get some illustrations made of a family (or buy them on istockphoto), name them The Leaf Family and then have copy on the front page like "Meet The Leaf Family! Take a peek inside their FamilyLeaf site and see how they're using it to stay connected."
The British royal family seems both well-known and complicated enough to work well for a demo...
House Stark?
The Obamas
