They took a huge risk, built something cool on a shoe-string, and then when the behemoth in the market killed their hockey stick curve, they sold it for a tidy profit. Now they have far more cash than most people a year after leaving school and I'm sure many more good ideas to work on. Plus they've had the experience of executing on an idea and selling it -- you can't buy that at business school.</p> <p>Great job, Kiko-people. I salute you!</p> I think these guys are awesome.

If someone has a product/service that would benefit from an integrated calendar they might simply be buying the software. After all, well developed software can easily cost much more than that amount.</p> I wouldn’t call anyone a sucker without knowing the facts.
