Don't be so sure about Crunchbase API. It's owned by AOL, which haven't played nicely in the past, too. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6680040

Sure, the "halflife of openness" of crunchbase is probably smaller than angellist.

However, at this point crunchbase is pretty open (to the point of giving data dumps) so I'll give them the benefit of doubt for the next 2 years.

Anyway, startups seem to tend towards closing off access to their data as they become the dominant player so it's a question of when not whether.

During one of hackathons my team got first place. After that we quit our jobs and studies, joined accelerator, launched real product and after a year got ~$110k funding.

Still, non-engineers won't get it.

Dropbox and Google Drive made uploading file super easy. You just drag&drop file on your hard drive and they take care about the rest. In addition to that, whenever you are going to update the file, you don't have to login. Again just drag&drop and Dropbox + Sellbox do the magic.

I agree it's convenient, but I'm having a hard time imagining people who would be selling digital content, if only they didn't have to upload it to a storefront...

Are there any generic examples of a digital storefront that you can easily self-publish files (preferably up to 25MB or so)? I'm not currently aware of any (although I haven't actually tried to search them out).

I've used http://www.e-junkie.com/ before

gumroad.com

There are plans of integrating that. However, Stripe is limited only to US market, so still looking for better worldwide (at least US and Europe) solution.

Ah makes sense (we just got it in Canada recently)
