GrowSumo (YC S15) | Toronto, ON | Full Time | ONSITE
GrowSumo makes it easy for SaaS companies to generate revenue through people that recommend products they love.
We’re looking to hire a full stack web developer; as the first technical hire, you’ll help shape the company as it grows. You’ll make significant decisions about the product and will be looked upon as a leader as the company scales.
We use Python/Flash, JavaScript/AngularJS/Node.js, Postgres, Redis, and run on AWS.
Reach out if you have any questions (bryn at growsumo dot com) or apply directly at http://bit.ly/1PQ6WMI. Cheers!

Pod's a group organization tool -- we're like a more functional Facebook Groups. Users organize teams around Pods and people can create tasks, schedule meetings or events, or post in forums.

Way ahead of you on this -- on-campus students groups will have access to the platform for free. However, large organizations like students' unions, regional, and national groups will have to pay.

We've received similar feedback from other users; calendar sync should be integrated in the next few weeks.

Fair point -- we're still testing, so for now it is free. Our longterm strategy to adopt a pricing model similar to Github; make the platform free for public groups, provide users 1-2 free private groups, and charge users to create additional private groups.
I will make the changes, but I hope that provides some clarity.

Validation is often oversimplified.
Driving traffic to a landing page validate's that you're good at marketing; signups validate interest from consumers; feedback provides insight for product development. However, none of these actions validate your idea.
Product demo videos provide people the context they require to properly assess the value of your idea. The best demo videos quickly describe the value of the product and then provide a use case which creates context for the audience. Finally, they end with a QUICK walk-through.
Drew Houston launched Dropbox with a product demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QmCUDHpNzE. Try to think of validation as an ongoing process and product demos as the next step.
