You should def give Algolia and Typesense a try. You can get 10k in free Algolia credits for the first year too via Secret (startup deals site).

Yes. You will now have a blank Check for the rest of your life:
1- you won’t need to work again. This lets you work on what you want next.
2- you’re very likely to get funded 2m for the next thing. This sale gives you a big stamp.
In short, this game is never about just one company. Get the 14m, stay hungry, and go for the 400m sale on the next.
Play the fucking long game and play it on your terms.

good group of companies. See the need for a CDN that can handle television volume audiences. Symple makes a lot of sense. Basically, bill.com that doesn't suck/feel dated.

Terrible analogy. Star Wars fans everywhere loved it to the tune of 2 billion dollars + and 90%+ on rotten tomatoes. As for the next one, Rogue One, earned over a billion dollars, making it the second largest opening this year. Episode VIII will do very well.
Yes, there were issues with Ep VII. No, those issues did not make it not awesome.

Insurance billing. These need to be exact in order to correlate to a) rates negotiated b) data collected for future underwriting c) exact repayment. Medical billing is a crazy world.

Bingo.
This has an even better "turn" on money. Basically, it's not getting money today that would take 30 days, it's really getting money today that might take another 5 days. That means there can be 73 turns per year vs. the 12 turns.
This is still much better than a payday loan btw.

Wrong. This is true for long term rentals, but not for vacation rentals. I.e. - anyone can manage a vacation rental, but you need to be a broker to manage an apartment that is leased for 12 months.

This x1000. I can't tell you how much better traveling internationally is with T-Mobile. I always have service and it's useful for maps, trip advisor, foursquare, google, email access, etc. It's not super fast as it's 2G, but it totally gets the job done. I'm surprised none of the others have tried to match this.
Overall, the service/connectivity is great as well in the US. They were also the first with wifi calling. Highly recommend to anyone.

Totally, but even if it was say a 500k contract, you chalk it up as a loss and don't release it.
