Great idea :) My only question is how the authentication works there...? User has to be logged in on the worker phone's app in order to do something on Instagram. I mean, I don't think anyone shares his Instagram password with an 3rd party software. Or you provide the services which can be done from another(your) Instagram account - which is then signed in on all worker phones?

You'd be surprised.

They already share the passwords with their marketing agencies, where interns basically type them in on their personal phones (in sometimes quite large companies!). My service lets all of those people use the Instagram account, but only their admin knows/sees the password. If we can keep it as secure as their own internal processes, then this is a fair-enough trade off for many companies.

Incredible :) amazing idea and amazing story!
