My GF worked there and this was precisely her job. She loved the product, but just had to leave the company; they didn't seem to get what it would take to make the company successful.

I'm not sure that company could be successful -- they raised so much money there's no way the investors could be made whole just on that product. I believe (from public info) their revenue is in the single digits per quarter.

It doesn't help that their CEO is an ex googler. I don't mean this as any insult to Google nor to him specifically, but working at G doesn't prepare you for a more resource-constrained environment where the product's traction and success is of existential import. I've seen this problem play out over and over.
