Happy to help anyone starting up. I raised a couple mil in seed funding for an open source project after bootstrapping for a few years. I'm sure the YC crew would be more helpful but I got rejected by YC like 8 times and took the direct route to funding. We built this https://M3O.com https://M3O.com. It was based on this https://github.com/micro/micro https://github.com/micro/micro Just happy to help given my own tough experiences. Pitch deck reviews, intros, etc.

  Depends on the measure of success. Might have been able to shrink the timelines on everything if I had a sounding board and people on my side with prior experience. They just didn't think I was worth the time.

It is an interesting approach to developing services. The company did not survive though, found this in a blog: > Jan 12, M3O was developed as a VC funded company. There is no longer a path to towards a sustainable outcome or further funding. For this reason we’re not able to support the platform any longer.

  Yup company is defunct but I left the product running while I push it toward something else. Basically why does every saas service need to be backed by a corporation. Why can't we have something community led. We have open source which many people can contribute to but not running services. So it's an experiment.

Happy to see you here, i love the idea of your app, but on my tests i had a poor experience, with latency, speed of execution and with your responses. it seem unmaintaned, what is tha state of the company today?

  Product is on autopilot, company ran out of money and couldn't raise further funding. I'm not offering help to find product/market fit and not showing these things to sell the product. Just offering help to fellow founders trying to get something off the ground. I managed to do that part. Btw sorry for your issues with the product. We were a small team, we raised $2m in 2019, but didn't launch that product until 2021. We just didn't have enough time to execute on it effectively.

    Not a problem, it's a good idea and a good product, i hope you find a way to continue this adventure, but if you want to sell it you can reach me throug any social media platform that is on my profile
