"Do any founders have other commitments between June and August 2008 inclusive?" -- probably not relevant to the January to March 2009 cycle.
Also, it's nice to see the weed-out question added: "Are any of the following true?"
- pg 18y agoThanks, fixed. (We added that question last cycle. There are no changes to the questions this time.)
- vaksel 18y agoCould be a little more sneaky though, i.e. give a little box in the end to "explain" answering yes or instead of 1 yes/no drop down, make 1 drop down for each choice. Also couldn't hurt to throw some irrelevant yes/no questions to hide the questions that matter, something like "Do you own pets?" or "Do you use dialup?" As it is now, if you have a clue you can probably figure out that answering yes is pretty much an instant disqualification, since the system will never know if you are answering yes to only 1 founder(probably seems like no big deal to most people) or yes to none of the founders are programmers.
- pg 18y agoAnswering yes doesn't mean instant disqualification. We've funded startups despite all of those. A yes just reminds us to take a second look to see if there are problems.
- vaksel 18y agoso how do you know if the person picked yes because its a single founder or if he picked yes because none of the founders are programmers? I would at least add a text box for them to tell you, what it is they are answering yes to. Would save you that one phone call/email to ask that question.
- brett 18y agoUnless they've omitted something or lied it should be clear from the rest of the app why they're picking yes.
