They seem to have removed their crunchbase profile already. Pretty sure they used to have one. The amount of shut downs lately seems slightly higher than usual, feels like we are entering a slight shedding phase.

I noticed that too because I was trying to figure out who bought them (Sales Force) on Crunchbase. Entrepreneurs aren't building sustainable ideas. I think this tightly correlates to the series A crunch.
Yeah I can't wait to see the shit show in the seed stage field if this happens http://www.forbes.com/sites/chancebarnett/2013/10/23/sec-job...
Honestly, I think one of the key things of finding a great investor is not just the money but the business mentorship. With crowd-funding, all you get is money which is cool, but what most start-ups need is money + people in power in their corner to promote their product, set up meetings with corporations who would otherwise never listen to the startup founders, and a way to open doors to new relationships.
