Q: Hi, I've received an email today from "Amadeo Jimenez," who is apparently the CEO of Kites.

Can you please help me understand the following:

- his email address is associated with the domain "@bekites.com"
- this page links to "makekites.io"
- "Amadeo's" signature references "kites.io"
- "Amadeo's" LinkedIn profile fails to include a link to any personal KITES landing page -- odd?
- your privacy policy makes several references -- more than once -- a "newsletter" as a go-to piece of rationale for requiring certain information... however, nowhere on your site do you solicit subscribers for such a newsletter (nor have I ever received one since first purchasing your product back in early July)
- can you please tell us more about "ORIGEN SOFTWARE SL"? Is it a parent company? Are "you" (Lucas & Amadeo?) the original founders, or was this company acquired from another party at some point along the way?

Lastly, to Appsumo: almost every deal your homepage (for me, at least) has remarkably earned entry to your highly-touted, ultra-exclusive "fewer than 1% are accepted" club of "Appsumo Select" products... that in and of itself seems a little odd, but let's go with it. If this particular deal is one of the increasingly few which isn't part of that "Select" group, why is it that you nonetheless opted to make it a "Plus Exclusive"?? The optics are a little awkward, are they not?

A: Hello waughtermark,

Let me clarify this for you. There is only one Amadeo and one Lucas, and we are the founders and owners of Kites from the very beginning, along with Aitor.

Kites.io is the name of our company, registered as Origen Software SL. Initially, we had a different idea, but we transitioned to developing Kites. As for the emails you received from bekites, that was part of our effort to better understand your experience with Kites. Our goal is to improve and grow with Kites, so we wanted to gather feedback and identify areas where users might need more assistance.

If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me at lucas@kites.io.

Have a great day!

Helo Waughtermark,

Just would like to ask you, why that suspicion on our identities? Lol I mean, I have been answering questions here, having a lot of meetings (with camera!) with many summolings (you can ask for one via support email), it is not difficult to find me in linkedin. Same with Lucas. It would really help us to avoid akward situations with future customers

cheers!
