This article previously appeared in TechCrunch. Cram downs are back – and I’m keeping a list.

The best thing about this model is that businesses can save costs on hiring, training, and maintaining in-house support staff. Yet they never fall short of assistance when a glitch arises because specialists are always at hand, just like an internal team.

It’s always been tough to start a new business, even when the bottom line was just making a profit to stay alive.
