Proving the old cliche once again that "Europeans just don't get it". Compare and contrast with YCombinator, or if you think that's unfair because Y is so well-known, to the other tens of incubation/early acceleration programs in the US. I don't want to be too negative, but can't they at least get their HTML design more appetizing?
- c3o 16y agoBy "HTML design" do you mean the graphic design? In my eyes the site has an edgy, artsy, designer-y feel to it, are you put off by that? I found it more fun and exciting than YCombinator's or Seedcamp's sites or those of any VC I've ever seen (except maybe Sequoia). Of course an established investor/incubator/funding program doesn't need to rely on site design to communicate their awesomeness, but it seems like an obvious place to start differentiating and I don't agree that HackFwd's is "unappetizing" in any way.
- Jun8 16y agoYes, I found the visual design to be interfering with the message (the animated logo is a poor choice, for example). You're right, it is edgy and artsy in a startup-y way. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that incubators should leave the edge to the startups they fund.
