When we started working on Apollo, we didn't quite know what to expect. We had several possible scenarios, but nothing was set in stone. We launched Apollo on the 27th of July, and we have been sending invites out ever since. For us, having Apollo as an invite-only application was important so that we could establish some kind of contact with our users; for each one of them, we tried to start a conversation.
We woke up this morning in a bit of a situation. We opened up our company inbox, and discovered some 140 emails waiting to be answered: they were invite requests.
We decided to start as "invite only" mainly because we wanted to establish a 1:1 connection with our users. That's also why we asked you to actually send us an email, rather than filling in a form with your email address: we wanted to see how you would ask for an invite, have a look at your company's website and blog, and possibly start a conversation with you.
