Since then, they got told "No" by several hundred people, switched business models, landed President Freaking Obama as an anchor client, and have created more actual value than a thousand mobifotosocialgames without ever once being in TechCrunch. And things are starting to work for them, in a serious way.
Drinks are on me when they IPO. (Which, disclosure, if they IPO I will probably be able to afford, since I invested in an earlier round.)
Another fun thing about that thread is that Dave McClure commented on your edit of my pitch, and then 1387 days ago made 500 Startups second investment in Stormpulse in 6 months. :)
