About a year and a half ago, we got accepted to the Elevator accelerator program in Tel Aviv, Israel. At the time, we started working on a product called Summer, a browser extension which lets you get more information about people you read about online (think of it as “Rapportive” for the entire Web).

We had built an impressive technology and a really cool product in less than three months, and we tried keeping it “lean” in every way we could. Our team of four wore all the hats, did things our own ways, and we loved the freedom.
