Thanks for hunting @sched! I'm the founder and happy to answer any questions and hear what you guys think. We're a small, bootstrapped team spread around 5 time zones. We're as passionate about improving events as we are about creating a company we're proud of.

@gtmcknight Awesome job, Taylor you guys seem on point with your informative website. I have a question for you.. since you guys are so bootstrapped and remote, and since your product seems somewhat complex (it's not an Ask Ethan or Yo), how did you manage to simplify your marketing communication and content so well? I am asking as a product designer/founder who is fighting complexity every day :) Thanks in advance.

@narekk I know what you mean. It's still hard to not mention every feature we have. I think the key is to combine the (hopefully existing) problem you are solving for people and what makes your take unique. It's obvious now but it took me a few years to get to that. I've never thought of Sched as mainly a mobile app company, we're an event platform that connects all the services together...but most people are looking first and foremost for a mobile app for their event. And while many events end up on larger plans, nobody delivers the value we do in our $99 plan. I lead with both the price-point and the mobile app on our homepage because it's the answer to what they are looking for and something unique. It's been really successful at driving free trial signups. Does that help?

We've used Sched a number of times for conferences and festivals we've produced. Love the tool - and the team is really responsive.

@corbett3000 Thanks Peter, we miss DC Week! If I weren't doing Sched, I think I'd probably do experiential marketing at events, it's such a fun challenge and seeing what your team comes up with is inspiring to me.

We also have an excellent API in case you guys want to build something awesome around an event that you're attending :)
