Thanks so much for your question Jordigg. I’m one of the co-founders at Eden. Each of the founders have been serving as tech support for their families for their whole lives. Half of our team is very technical and we have been building comp

Lots is a relative statement and it doesn't mean expert. To put it in perspective collectively we have 6 years of running startups (both exited), 1 year of product, 2 years of management consulting, 16 years of coding. Definitely not e

Absolutely and the interview at YC was a wake up call. We set the frame poorly and dove off into misc questions about implementation for 5 minutes. If we had described the pain point and the product better from the get go, it would've
