The wider problem is that HN is no longer about startups. It might have been the case when we had 10,000 regular user, but now that we have 100k-200k regulars users people involved in startups form a much smaller part of the community. You see this not only when it comes to new startup launches but also startup related articles, I see plenty of great articles about startups on the new page that a few years ago would have got to the front page without problem but now they disappear off /new in 30 minutes with next to no chance of getting to the front page. Recently I've been starting to spend more time on http://www.reddit.com/r/startups/ http://www.reddit.com/r/startups/ and less time on HN.
