Yes, that little fact is going to follow them around for life. It also puts
this quote into an ironic light:

    
    
         “We call them security researchers, but ultimately they’re 
         ‘white hat’ hackers,” says Kaplan. ”They’re hacking for good.”
    

This company does not clearly state what their relationship is with western
intelligence agencies. Not even as much as a hint of an ethics statement or
information about how long they hold disclosure or how this is handled. One
should assume that 'white hat' for them and 'hacking for good' may mean the
exact opposite. With that I'm a little surprised the irony of Google Ventures
money being used for this is not highlighted more. Google complains along with
others about the destabilisation of the tech industry at the NSA hands and yet
funds a company that may very well help with that?

Hey, I have some thoughts for you: \- it's a bit cluttered. People don't have
time to read through all the stuff to understand what the page is about. I'd
make it simpler with a couple of graphics. \- If your goal is to sign up
customers, you should highlight the feature and put it in the center. Also,
what's the incentive for people to sign up? Give them something to be excited
about. \- How long will they have to wait and what do they get after that? \-
The box on the right side is a left unexplained. Might need some context or
get rid of it. \- Yesterday I found a threat here for people to promote their
beta launches. You might want to check it out :) Best of luck
