Desperately need an investor .. any ideas?
I've tried and tried and tried and it's leading nowhere.... Btw, you might want to check out profiles - that's where the technology goes. I have about a month of work to get ready to launch this. And when I do, it's going to kick ass! Any advice / feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you.

- dotcoma 16y agoit'd be great if the "About Beepl" link worked...
- jparicka 16y agoWorking on it. Wednesday maybe? For now: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1625622 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1625622
- jparicka 16y agoOK, I take it it's a lack of the about section.

- petervandijck 16y agoThat's like saying "I desperately need a wife". Not likely, sorry.
- jmathai 16y agoEverything needs to be fleshed out more. Reading this and your other post leaves me with the feeling that you might have a good idea but are very early in formulating it into a business (as opposed to a hobby). It is a pain in the butt and extremely time consuming - not to mention there are no guarantees at the end. Chances are that it won't all even help with the idea/business. None of that matters because it's what you have to do to even have a chance for investment. In the end you'll be better for it.
- GeorgeB 16y agoHere's my honest opinion of Beepl: - The design of the site is fantastic. I can safely say I've never seen a site that looks as well, both in terms of artwork, appearance, navigation etc. I did spot one or two usability glitches and spelling mistakes... I am a bit anal when it comes to that, but I'm sure you know that already! - The concept and ideas are also excellent: the semantic engine; a Q&A market; seamless integration with other sites. This kind of research tool/experts network should be in very high demand, if it catches on. From what I can see, the biggest challenge will be attracting enough of a user-base to get the ball rolling. I think you need to explain to users exactly what differentiates beepl from your competitors, like Yahoo answers... for example on the "About Beepl" page, or maybe by putting an article up on Wikipedia about beepl before the launch. - I can't comment on how viable it is in terms of revenue, but I'm sure you have the business model worked out already! That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Hope it's useful. I'd better go to bed now.. early start tomorrow!
