  Yep, mainly just posted here for exposure/validation before I spent more time reaching out to grants & organizations, etc.

    I actually really appreciated the honesty, rather than hiding and pretending that you had a bunch of users. Refreshing! It also makes me think of Michael Sebel's comment (paraphrasing) about how if you have $0 revenue or other metric" if it's zero, that should fk you in the face" Keep up the honesty, our industry needs it!

      Thank you! I never really understood why some sites fudge their numbers (other than for boosting one's ego)––makes it even more embarrassing when they get caught!

        Dude, it isn't just fudging their numbers on their site. I've heard pitches (mostly in pitch comps) where presenters outright lie about usage numbers, revenue, and partnerships. I'm still shocked with the ease some people do this.

          And they manage to get away with it?! That's just pathetic
