Didn’t Homejoy Shut Down?

I'm one of the founders of Homejoy. I'm still very passionate about the home service space. After leaving Homejoy, I started FlyMaids, where we're exploring a few different angles on the space.

We recently acquired the customer and service provider data from Homejoy.

We're a small team that has been focused on moving quickly while bootstraping. We tried to quickly test different approaches, but we realize now that we did so in an unclear manner. We recognize the need to use the data we acquired responsibily. As a result, we're taking the site down, and we're going to do a better job with our testing moving forward.

And when I say "testing different approaches" I mean:

* completely ripping off competitor business websites

* throwing PCI compliance and SSL encryption out the window

* generally treating our VC money purchased customers from our old firm like commodity dirt.

This one is gonna be a winner for sure.

If they were using Stripe or similar, then they don't have access to your credit cards. Only the last four digits and expiration.

Yet without HTTPS anyone changing or entering new credit card info is at risk on this site. There's also personal information like where to find spare keys and stuff; it should be a lot more secure than this.
