Pros

Very good at courting investors, even with underdeveloped product. Very diligent on Glassdoor, and will probably follow behind this with a 5 star review. Very good at increasing and advertising their data pool, even if they can't efficiently operationalize it for customers.

Cons

The executive team lacks the cognitive horsepower to think of good solutions, the decisioning skills to apply them, and the organizational skills to hold things together. Like they're hemorrhaging money and don't have the corporate chops to do anything about it. Instead of fixing their culture, they'll flood Glassdoor with 5 star reviews (again). My optimistic estimate is that they get acquired for much less than the $70M they've raised
