    Out of curiosity, how'd you get the coverage from CNN? Was it their interest, or via a marketing outreach?

    Congrats on the coverage!

    I know you must be sick of hearing this, but - do you guys support Silicon Valley Bank yet? We'd love to give Indinero a try.

    Presumably if you don't support SVB we could still manually enter transactions? (We might actually do that - SVB's online banking might be the worst I've ever seen, and that's saying something.)

    I just went to check out InDinero and linked up my personal accounts to see how it worked. I have to say it was so nice, easy clean, etc. that I think I might start using it to monitor my personal accounts, it's 10x better than my banks online banking pages.

    My wife and I run a Salon and I WANT to use InDinero... but it really seems like it's focused on super-small businesses. Is there value for a $500k+ revenue 12+ employee business that I'm missing? I'm not super happy with LessAccounting, but I still want to keep track of per-employee revenue and payouts and what not :\

    Direct link so you don't have to go to CNN (I got a couple of popups in spite of having AdBlock)

    https://indinero.com/

    Just out of curiosity - how do you manage to get data from credit cards and banks? Are you using some third party service, or did you write something from scratch?

    Interesting pricing concept: If InDinero helps its customers succeed, so do its revenues! Great idea!

    So far they'd paid themselves nothing, but starting in 2011 they'll all receive $20,000 a year.

    Really glad the interview included this. It's one of those details you don't hear about much in company profiles.

    Congrats on getting on to CNN

    Honestly, InDinero is just one of those genuinely good ideas that I would invest in myself.

    Really wish it worked with TD Business Direct.

    I like the honesty about employee salary, keep it up! CNN knows you guys are onto something!

    I might be biased, I do prefer Outright a little more...

    Canada support?

    They just added this? What else did they have??

    It might be cool for InDinero to support data imports from our FaceCash POS system. As mobile payments take off more businesses will be using it, and though we have our own accounting features they might want to build it into InDinero too if they're using it already.
