March 22 - 2013, I for the first time understood the importance of 10$.
We launched Truffle in Seattle in March. http://www.truffle.io/
100 users signed up, 10 date invitations were extended.
Every day, I used to log in admin mode to see if there was any accepted dates.
By the way, every accepted date, Truffle charges the initiator $10.
I woke up one morning and went directly to Stripe.
Hold and behold, Stripe dashboard was showing a sparkling $9.41 as the "next transfer".
I think all I remember was that I jumped off my bed and called Gordon/Agatha/Chenyu (Truffle co-founders). Pretty sure all they hear was 10$ and nothing else but I guess they realized what I was saying.
10$ is nothing. Even a lunch in Seattle cost around 11$ plus taxes.
So why was I so happy
0. Someone bought our vision.
1. Don't know why but it felt as if these $10 > amazon salary
