This post is getting more attention then intended but I'll be back later tonight after my hockey game to answer any questions.

I do just want to state unequivocally that we do not intend to shut down, we're still growing and are as sustainable as ever. Customers don't need to worry about us disappearing.

John, congrats on being a new dad...I'm one as well. Having a kid affords you an interesting sense of clarity and vision. For me, it's allowed me to look further down the road and make better decisions for my family's future..not just mine.

Also, I'm sure the Wild will beat the Blackhawks in the playoffs this year....I'm just sure of it.

"As sustainable as ever" might not be the best way to phrase things, given that the previous state was in your own words "a long way from self-sustaining".

Fair point. In retrospect it felt sustainable fresh off our last round given the market at the time and the amount of runway it gave us. Not saying that it was, just that it felt that way.

Hey John, I just wanted to say thanks for providing an awesome service. We're happy customers.

I know how hard it can be to have a business go through tough times, but it sounds like you've got a lot of options and I wish you and Runscope the best.

Hey, let me be the first to say welcome back to the land of 10,000 traffic cones. The fun is just getting started. Hopefully you'll stay clear of the impending traffic mess that is the west burbs as of, according to MnDOT... 6 hours ago.

Thanks again for our call in December :)

Thanks for sharing the post. You've probably helped more founders with that than you know.

Anyways, welcome back to the Midwest, if you make it to Madison ever stop by the Ionic offices and say hi, I know several people on our team love your product!
