You got probably flagged because -- all things considered (see other comments) -- "CloudBuddy" seems pretty sketchy, to be honest. You do not inspire confidence or trust. At all.

"We"? You keep saying "we" but, c'mon, we all know it's just you, running this off of a machine in your home office or garage or whatever.
I don't know why people always try to make their little companies seem much larger than they really are but... you know what? It's perfectly fine! It's okay to be a one-(wo)man shop, doing everything, at home, by yourself, in your spare time -- especially here on HN!. That's how a large number of companies start out. It's not something to be ashamed of or to try to hide.
This practice of trying to appear as some big large company is counter-productive. If you act like a big(ger) company, I'm going to treat you like one and call you out on things you should be doing (but can't, due to it just being you). If you stop pretending and just be honest -- "Hey, it's just me building this myself, trying to make a business out of it" -- then I'll cut you some slack and give you a chance.
Apparently "fake it until you make it" is still a thing.
