You have your pricing model backwards IMO. If your target market are those who cannot afford healthcare are they in the position to pay monthly for the possibility of discounted service? I understand that when you run the numbers $10/mrr from 1000 customers vs 100 providers is more appealing, but if the system is worth using providers would be throwing money at you to acquire non-insured cash customers at a scaled rate.

How many customers are currently using the system? How many providers and services are available for the first few customers to search through? If there answer is none or close to none I'd think about making the service free to use until it is worth it for one side or the other (it should be providers) to start paying.

Really nice tool! Couple things I'm running into:

1. I registered on my laptop, opened account verification email on my phone. Verification link says I'm verified, laptop say's I'm not even after logging out/in.

2. It says 5 alerts are free, but at 3 alerts I'm presented with a message stating I've reached my limit.

3. Last pass doesn't seem to like the email field on sign in. It won't autofill it :(

Coffee roaster here, at 350F the beans have turned yellow and barely started browning. 390F~ is around the point where most roasters would consider development of flavor to really take off (yeah yeah pre-development phase, I'm keeping it short) and beans will be done at various points after that depending on roast preference.

The smoke that the roaster produces towards the end of roast is no joke, and some has to get on the beans, but I'd say it is minimal enough to not be an issue as there should be plenty of air flowing through the roaster at that point.

If roasted improperly oils could seep out of the beans while in the roaster which burn as well and stick to the beans. I'd say that is more of an issue than the smoke or roasting too dark.

I just saw my first one yesterday and made me instantly question how they paid for that and what their business model was.

At the time of this comment the majority of other comments are all about how the page doesn't work. It is broken for me in Firefox, Chrome, and mobile safari. I don't understand how a page this broken makes it to the #13 slot of HN.

Perfect timing as I sat through a 'for the first time ever blockchain is changing the coffee world' presentation in a room full of poverty stricken farmers and coffee buyers.

Stereotypical sales guy telling these farmers how blockchain is going to make sure coffee is traceable from seed to cup and revolutionize the industry. Everything is immutable, no one in the world is using blockchain for coffee, we are the first and announcing it here today! (just don't google it)

I'm out of the loop on how blockchain would actually help or be truly immutable in a case like coffee. I doubt independent associations are running nodes to prevent data tampering for this private company, and the process from seed to cup has long periods of time between each step. At what point do you enter all the immutable data? If you enter it little by little how do you 100% guarantee the association is correct and you're not mixing up plants, bags of beans, who shipped it, or the 30 other blocks of data we quickly scrolled through?

The B2B was the first thing I wondered when clicking the site. Would be neat to say 'were off setting our footprint via wren' and a 'click here to view our carbon profile and who were donating to.'

Do you/your clients perform any sort of pre-screen before going through the first round interviews?

Value is relative. That is how you justify charging open source $0, a bootstrapped business $15, and a multi-billion dollar corporation $5000. The larger the product/more revenue a product brings in the more value your service offers them.

Looks like a great product. How did you come up with the pricing models? It seems on the cheap side. Have you thought about having something between small and unlimited (at the $50 mark or more) and then the unlimited plan for quite a bit more (or even contact us for pricing)?

Similar results with codescreen.io. Originally I was charging $50/screen which is exactly what I was given per phone screen. Feedback is that $50 is too expensive even though we're seeing the same results and providing reports and a study suggestions for the candidates (which is how I decided to minimize completely wasting a candidates time).

People place a lot of value on human to human interaction.

Not that I don't agree... but for a CPA, lawyer, engineer, and many other professions you have to go through years of education and rigorous testing to acquire the titles. We pull down some of the highest salaries in the US, we have incredible responsibility, and our profession requires zero formal education or testing to prove our abilities. It shouldn't be too far fetched to understand why some companies feel the need to vet their candidates.
