With Lucidchart, we are the only diagramming app that imports Microsoft Visio's native file format...so it's not unprecedented for us to tackle these types of things.
We are excited to bring that same technology to the layout and publishing space. Please let us know if you have any feedback!
Fixing the inversion problem though will take active involvement from the community. If we could get 1/3 of the cars off the road on the 10 days/year it mattered the most, it would be a game-changer. The tech companies in the area could make a big difference in this effort if they let their collective thousands of employees work from home on those days.
We only had to do one thing to double our valuation -- book a plane ticket from the Salt Lake airport to San Francisco.
This could be both good and bad. Bad because as you mention, the user won't see it immediately even if they requested it. Good because if the user actually uses and likes your service, they may start to take those transactional emails to their Priority inbox which could train it to also respect the marketing type e-mails as Priority as well. Again, this would only happen if the user actually likes your service.
Aside from the standard free account, there are also free Pro accounts for students who use an educational email address: https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/education/students
I wonder if you would have success attracting high-potential startups. It would seem that most of these are able to raise money for the needs you talked about, especialy since it appears easier than ever to raise a small seed round.
As a result, you could be left with mediocre to low-quality startups only which threatens the model.
We reverse engineered the binary format!

What is not working for companies today is the $250 - $1000 price tag for each license of Microsoft Visio.

Or it has a simpler Visio API which allows other applications to use Lucidchart as a Visio viewer.
I agree it would certainly make sense for Google to do it (and I imagine they are, and giving favor to G+), but I haven't seen any compelling evidence myself.
And if you're still a student, we give free upgrades to Pro accounts so we'd be happy to hook you up.
The value difference is huge between poor execution and stellar execution on a solid concept. So just because another company has a mediocre product in a space, is it not worth creating a much better and improved version?
