In March, we paid @StubHub $2,671.43 for World Cup tickets to see Scotland-Haiti. 2 hours before the match, they told us the tickets couldn't be delivered. Despite hotels, travel, and a heartbroken kid, we've heard nothing. @StubHubHelp I'm now pursuing a claim under MA Ch. 93A.

Kinsome: AI with a Human Touch
Think this is going to be a new rule at Kinsome as we build out our early team.
One thing that took me a while to learn is if you are recruiting someone to your early stage startup and they are also interviewing at huge companies, everyone is better off if you just stop the process.

A Simple Twist of Fate: How Kinsome Gained a Cofounder
