After reading your comment, I was curious and looked up the site, and was expecting amature hour, but I think you're being too critical. The website looks well put together and communicated the product idea just fine. It's actually a very interesting idea that I think has real market demand if it actually works and produces better results than manually segmenting users (what all the other products do right now). That being said, I think it is very non-trivial to make a general recommendation engine that will work well for a variety of different apps and goals that isn't overly complicated. These things tend to sound good in theory, but fall apart in the details of practice.

#1. How do you know? Did you contact them? Obviously it's not open to the public as self-serve right now.

#2. I only glanced at the site, and didn't spot any. I'm sure they're there tho.

#3. They're demonstrating why you should care about push notifications. I'm sure they'll replace with specific case studies when they get some.

#4. I'm sure they've only begun to explore pricing at this early stage, but it seems reasonable to me. It's actually almost identical pricing per user compared to mixpanel, a YC company with a product in a similar space, at $0.002.

Thanks anatari for providing this feedback. You are spot on - our biggest technical challenge is to make a generic recommender that will work with a variety of different verticals. Our current approach is to limit ourselves to 3 specific verticals. For example consider the "news" vertical - a recommendation engine that works for NYTimes will likely work fine for WSJ.

Yeah, no problem. If you guys are planning on targeting games feel free to ping me privately to bounce ideas off of. I'm also a 30 something founder with kids in Seattle :). Our company currently uses a variety of services related to what you are doing. My email is my username at gmail.
