Looks like the Storj coin is trading higher now than when it first launched.

The level of fraud and stupidity in the ICO world is pretty shocking. It's not going to be pretty when the bubble bursts.

Our goal is to put an end to that kind of crap, where publishers charge $100-300 for a text and then gouge students another $50 on top of that for a homework system.

Most content on Top Hat is free or around the $20-40 price range, with most of the money going back to the author (vs. publisher model of paying a 5-10% royalty)

I'm the founder/CEO of Top Hat I'd love to hear about your experience and what we can do better - my email is mike at tophat dot com

Hiring engineers is one of the most important things we need to get right, so I'd hate to think we're doing such a bad job at it. Really sorry that you've had a bad experience with us

Top Hat | Toronto, On, Canada | Full-time

We're a profitable (and valley VC funded by some of the best funds in the world) education startup that helps make class more engaging. We've got some really cool problems to work on and your work would be impacting a huge number of students daily.

If you're not based in Canada or the US but are willing to relocate feel free to contact us, because we do cover relocation expenses and will help you manage the work permit process.

People are incorrectly thinking of this round as meaning that Magic is worth $40M. That's not how fundraising at this stage works.

The thought process is more along the lines of: - is this a VC fundable concept?

- are the founders impressive enough that Sequoia thinks they can pull it off?

- how much money does the company need to build what they need to build?

- how much does Sequoia need to own in order for them to get 10-100x return if the company succeeds?

Think of the $40M valuation as simply a back-calculated parameter based on how much Sequia needs to own with respect to how much capital the company needs and how big the opportunity could be.

The thought process is not: how much is Magic objectively worth now based on their EBITDA?
