With a name like that, it has to be good. Remember that?
Same thing with these guys. How they managed to get seed funding then do a $235M corporate round is beyond me.
Seriously, I immediately think of the face hugger from Alien when I see the name, and imagine that is what this company does.
I’m looking forward to the very exciting phase 2 of their business model, it’s called Bursting Chest.

I will pass, thank you.
Having played with each of the contenders a bit here or there in conversational ways, this one is at least on par with any of them. Granted, I was “chatting” with them about creative ways to use current pop-culture themes. Some of them fell apart relatively quickly. This one at least held the thread together, while discussing everything from George Burns to Mark Pelligrino (God (Oh God, You Devil) and Lucifer (Supernatural) and even managed to get what I was hinting at, though not really seeming to get the
