Congrats James and Khaled! Awesome company from two of the nicest guys you will ever meet.
Agreed on Khaled, although I'm at best unsure on James.
Thanks man. It is easy to be nice when you are surrounded by awesome individuals like yourself :).
I thought Crowdtilt was like kickstarter but then I read further and its different. I like the idea and I can definitely see myself using their services.
If Facebook credits had a decent percentage fee instead of the crazy 30% they currently have, they'd instantly rule this market completely.
Congrats guys, Crowdtilt rocks! (said the guy wearing a shirt bought using crowdtilt).
Congrats! Keep crushing it guys.
Congratulations guys!
Congratulations.
Excellent work, gents.
You're welcome :)
You're welcome :)
>I’ve found that when I plan something like a vacation rental with friends, it’s often done by email with a lot of chasing for payments in the aftermath (that could just be my own flaky friends, of course).
It's definitely not just the author who has flaky friends. I think almost everyone has problems collecting money from friends. This makes me think of fantasy football and what a pain in it is to run a league. This, in turn, makes me think of WePay. I wonder how WePay is doing with these two specific use cases: vacationing friends and fantasy sports. And I wonder what they think of Crowdtilt.
