You mentioned a few things about the design that I agree with but "clunky ui" doesn't make sense to me as I think as the site UI and functionality itself is very simple. Assuming the UI is minimally usable, the main thing I'm concerned about is if the functionality of the site is what cofounders want. For example, are the questions on the "New Project" form what people care about when looking at projects. Are people too scared others will steal their ideas to create their own projects. Does the current user profile information not give enough information that users "trust" other users enough to reach out and discuss projects.
