Grubwithus launches in Boston next week

I think this is a great idea, but this is another startup (like yelp, to name another) with a globally good idea only applied to select few US cities. I get that they want to take it slow and get traction, but with all their traction they never get to small places that are in need of such services.

I really hate stealing other people's ides (god knows I can't even act on a 10% of my own), but as Groupon buying Israeli copy-cat "Grouper" showed, maybe opening a local carbon copy will make the original startup step in (especially if you gain traction).

I think this is a good idea. I'd even go further and say some startups catering to specific geographic areas could franchise - you take some of the risk, put in some of your own money maybe, they get cut of profits and give you their tech / secret sauce.

Congrats to Eddy and Daschin! Happy to see these guys crushing it with an old fashioned money making business. Novel idea, right?? ;)

Does anyone else think the name is terrible? Sure "grub" is food, but "to grub" is to dig about in the earth.

No way, I love the name. Original, quick to say (3 syllables), caters to a younger crowd.

I love the name. Makes me feel happy.
