Interesting model for the beta:

    What we're doing works a bit like a Kickstarter. We're asking supporters to back 
    us for AU$60.

    Why charge for 1,000 places?

    The maths on 1,000 × 60 means two co-founders working full-time for six months. 
    This is just enough time for us to get stuck in without worrying about the future
    It's also a handy, low number that means we don't have to worry about scaling a 
    whole lot of data analysis just yet.
Although, I think that should be on the front page. But I like it better than someone setting up a quickie Selfstarter install and waiting for money to roll in.


Oh that's a neat model. I'm going to hang on to that idea for my start-up (on the back burner, just had to take a permanent position due to my financial position).
