All of these are standard terms.

Establishing a (standard sized) ESOP is good for the company long term.

If you would like better/different terms, you'll need at least one other firm to offer you a term sheet as leverage.

Is the plan to lose money on each user until they reach profitability? How do they plan to make money?

This is not an accurate speculation.

They try to predict flu strains because it is prohibitive to identify and produce vaccines for every strain in time for flu season each year.

By your assertion, the entire notion of yearly flu shots would be irrelevant.

I use Vantage and it's definitely a good product and all but the real value is every hour you don't have to spend using AWS directly.

I would pay _so_ much money to never have to use Cloudwatch and AWS Cost Management again. Thankfully, I qualify for the vantage free tier for quite a while longer.

I caution against trying to monetize it; Facebook will waste your time with constant cat and mouse changes to the HTML and will bully you with their vast legal resources

* network effects

* regulatory moats

Probably the best you're going to get - most things worth scraping are worth money, and as such are not freely available

I built something similar to this last year and wow this is just much... better

I find the choice of Flask + Zappa a little weird - I much prefer serverless.com for infra as code - but it makes sense after staring at it long enough
