Expensify in the News

Wow! April was a big month for Expensify in the media. Our Bitcoin Reimbursement announcement drew a large amount of attention.

And I couldn’t help but wonder how we did. Lo and behold, we did amazingly well! A full 9 of Scoble’s 25 Hot Startups to Watch in 2010 use Expensify.  For the math challenged, that’s a whopping 36%!  I guess I shouldn’t be surprised — things are really taking off here and Silicon Valley is our home turf.
