So, I signed up, but how are you dealing with sharing the login with startups? I see three options:

a) You have them hook in with you, not really ideal

b) You share the password (and salt?) weakening the security as the salt has to be shared among other companies

c) On your signup form they have a one-off contact with you to verify they are the "claimer"

Hopefully it's C. I like the idea!

we sign you up with your @earlyclaim.com email and a rendomnly generated password which you can see when you are ready to do your first "real login". For now we're lean testing with startups the open API approach and it seems welcome, but open to more ideas. What do you mean with the c) option?

Ah, okay. It was a bit late when I wrote that. I was thinking of an oAuth interface and saying "Got a username with EarlyClaim? Login here!".

:) yeah we're also looking at that as a possibility, we got a round of lean calls tomorrow w/ startups that want to get hooked in and we'll see what they tell us !
