Updated my profile with my email address. Thanks!

Would love to see the spreadsheet/notes that you have been taking. Email is in profile. Thanks!

What search term did you use on thumbtack to find your cook. I would love to be able to pay only $100/week for what amounts to 40 servings (4 people * 2 (lunch and dinner) * 5 days). That comes out to $2.5 per serving for the labor of cooking. I've looked into personal chefs before and the quotes I've received are generally $15+ per serving (not including food costs).

Thanks for the kind words!

Congrats Garry, Alexis and team. Just to add another anecdote: We are backed by Initialized coming out of YC S16 batch. Incredibly awesome to work with such founder friendly investors. I'm sure the perspective that Garry/Alexis gained by going through YC themselves gives them this sort of empathy towards other founders.

One of the founders from WorkRamp here. Happy to answer any questions.

Curious to know how you handle dependencies between services. For example, say you have a User service, I could imagine creating a client library for interacting with this service (the library being responsible for knowing where the http end point is, serializing/unserializing JSON into domain objects, etc.). Then any service wanting to interact with the User service just adds this library as a dependency.

Along those same lines how do you deal with fetching of domain objects and associated relationships from these services? For example, let's say in one instance you want a user and their manager and in another instance you want a user and their manager's manager and so forth for any relationship that a user might have (that the User service is responsible for).

I wonder if they have plans to automate the process (e.g. like Shyp). I'm assuming the way it works right now is that employees send out gifts on a case by case basis. What use cases are there for automation?
