       | chasing hype.

       | Very happy to see an update from them. After a year of radio
       | silence I was beginning to imagine the worst, and I didn't feel
       | confident referring founders to them.

         | An acquaintance (serious person, real company, great career,
         | etc) just got completely ignored by Calm. Like didn't even
         | respond to the submission.
         | 
         | Dunno what they're doing, but it ain't being serious.

           | The post speaks of a bottleneck. When a post goes viral and a
           | flood of applications comes in, the number of Tylers remains
           | at one. The queue just gets unmanageably long. It's
           | definitely not ideal, but your acquaintance shouldn't take it
           | personally.

       | I'm big believer in both the vision and what Tyler and team have
       | been getting done. I've heard nothing but good things from
       | bootstrappers who decided to and were then able to raise from
       | them.
