Despite any problems that might exist with this particular approach to evaluating venture capital opportunities, if you still think Snapchat is primarily about sharing racy photos, I'm sorry.
This is the way that nearly all of my (admittedly younger) friends communicate now. It has the media integration depth of all the other social media services, if not more, and the candidness of a casual conversation. There are few better ultra-modern user experiences for us.
I don't want to derail your question, but I just wanted to point out that SolidFire doesn't actually sell cloud instances - we sell service provider/enterprise storage appliances.
Essentially it's a storage system (like EMC, NetApp, etc.) designed to, among other things, allow service providers (Rackspace, DigitalOcean) to easily provision (via REST API) virtualized storage devices for their cloud tenants. These service providers then typically resell this as a capability in their own public API or management console.
(Full disclosure that you may have picked up from my earlier phrasing, I am a SolidFire employee.)
