I am curious to see how you guys decided to go after this space. For me, I started ContentDJ through an attempt at growth hacking on Twitter. Through a script I developed back in 2011, I was able to retweet trending content and grow my followers by about 1K per month. It turned into a viable growth channel for the startup I was working on at the time. So, I made the pivot and build ContentDJ (http://a.contentdj.com/1nrbICq).
As an interesting anecdote, last year, two product managers from Buddy Media signed up. Through Mixpanel, I found that they were particularly interested in my social media editorial calendar feature (http://a.contentdj.com/1lOiRWD). Surely enough, just last month, Salesforce announced their Marketing Cloud with a very similar content calendar in it. Unfortunately we now live in a world where multi-billion dollar public company steals from a one-man bootstrapped startup...
A bit of a leap to assume it was blatantly stolen. It's entirely possible that this feature was on the roadmap long before they discovered ContentDJ. Sure, big companies may get ideas from startup products, but of course the reverse happens all the time too and both feel like fair game to me.
