> with huge barriers to entry that requires a ton of money to get started
Just a note that the proof of concept stage was very cheaply done. Travis hired someone to make an app and the "dispatch" system was just a single php page. He then tested it out with his friends.
That said, I agree that ultimately to get to the position they are today required a ton of cash - just the getting started was pretty cheap.
Actually we have the blow-by-blow of how it all played out on our podcast since Jason was employee #7 and built out the original node dispatch system.
