I haven't even looked at it but seeing this in the comments means I can't use it. Many (most?) of your target "elite professionals" are running Outlook in the enterprise.

That's true and one of the reasons we're keen to add an Outlook integration ASAP. We're a tiny team of five so building an integration with Google and Outlook from the get go wasn't feasible.

You might consider using something like Nylas to handle all the different calendar APIs at once. Not sure if their pricing is workable for you though.

They do say on the homepage that it syncs with your Google calendar... But yes, perhaps it could be more prominent?
