I'm some sort of mix between hacker and sales. Started out with engineering but got so fed up with how bad all sales people were and started doing it myself instead.

Can also recommend http://instabridge.com. The world's largest wifi sharing community. It's an app so works completely offline.

I just rode in an elevator and didn't see any Apple watch.

Makes sense. This explanation was much better than what was on your website. Maybe you should describe yourself as the "ORM for APIs". A bit geeky maybe but would make developers get it.

First of all, it does feel like this solves a genuine problem. Despite standards it still feels like every external API is unique.

With that said, I'm not sure I 100% grasp what Brightwork does from your description and website. Maybe you could describe a specific use case of how it would help me as a developer?

It seems that one of the use cases is easily switching between APIs that serve the same purpose (eg Google Maps to Mapbox). How big a use case do you think this will be? Ie if I use the Facebook API there's is no replacement. I have to use their API if I want to use their platform.

In that case you didn't go after the right users. Expensify just did a $17m Series C so must obviously be a lot of people like me.

Really weird to read this being someone who is using the Expensify app on a daily basis. Super simple, I just photo the receipts as I go about during the month and then at the beginning of the next month I create my expense report.

Really weird to read this being someone who's using Expensify on a daily basis in exactly the use cases they describe.
