19 person years? Just say 2 years jeeze. Or is it that some of you have been together 3 and some joined late. Omg why did you do this to me. Its too early for this.

What do you mean?... Can you please elaborate.

It was confusing and made me think. They're trying to use how long they've been working together (gel-time) as a sale point. But they say it in a way that it is incredibly vague.

In perhaps better words, it confused me, thought I'd share, doesn't really mean anything unless you like reading into things of trivial importance. :)

Something like "20 combined years of experience" would sound better imo.

Thats even worse o.O

Dont really understand what you mean by the second part of your comment.

19 person years means different people had different joining dates.

Guys, a bit misleading - On your site, I was expecting to see example/s of products with engaged users that you've built together.

Perhaps 'hire.me' would've been a more apt domain name as acquihire implies there's a company with a product to be acquired.

The domain is acquihire.me not acquire.me

In silicon valley parlance, here's what it means to be "acquihired": http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2012/09/25/161573...
