Here's my input for each of your points: 1. Anonymity: I guess, but not sold. 2. Hosting & IT Infrastructure: Isn't this largely a thing of the past? Could you really offer hosting and such cheaper than the likes of Heroku/GoDaddy/the like? 3. How many start-ups, in the mode you speak of, "need" this? Hey, having an accountant ready to go is great, but most certainly you'll be charging extra for that? Payment systems are also something that has become easier and easier to implement. 4. Legal Umbrella: For me, this is the scary one! How am I going to get that umbrella without giving something major up in return? This is something I'm already working on...right? So why give it to someone else? Now, maybe offering up a GOOD set of standard docs and/or legal services to get ME setup with my own protection would be something worth considering. 5. Moral Support - Can't argue with that. I get a heck of a lot of it right here on HN though! What would be better would be skill augmentation! I suck at graphic design/visual stuff and I equally suck at bizdev/marketing - and I would gladly trade some of my coding skills for someone to help me on the stuff at which I suck. 6. Solidly supplied by HN users, but can never get enough! This has a stronger impact in a "non-virtual" setup where you work next to these like minded individuals "x" number of nights a week. Sounds like a negative response, but you asked if it would appeal to me and unfortunately, in this case, with the parameters described, I don't think it would. But I'm just one voice and wish you the best.
