Biz model: SaaS + Enterprise edition.
Backstory: Inspired by angry people saying silly things in debate programs on Swedish TV. I thought they needed time to think, before they spoke. But they couldn't stay in the TV studio for hours and days. They needed a place online where they could share their thoughts, later when done thinking. There wasn't any good software for this, so I started coding. (This was long ago.)
No investors (instead, independent, based out of Europe/Sweden). Hand coded.
