I am a totally young naive inexperienced entrepreneur, but this post screamed at me for a few reasons.
What are you going to spend the money on right now? Why do you need $50k to put up a HN post and ask some questions?
Why do you think I won't out-do you on your concept, or your execution, or anything else you do? You're wordy and talk about "relentless" and "passion". Emotions don't get you anywhere, they just help motivate you..
I do love that your idea has evoked this much emotion from people (including me), therefore that is what I find most interesting about your post. I mean you applied for a loan and seemingly have 0% of an idea about a product/direction, and I don't even see a need for $50k (yet).
I think it's like a car crash in a sense though, the attention your getting. As long as you are aware of the attention ("bad news coverage is good for spreading your name"?"), then I say work with it.. But good luck, all in all. I don't care for your software, it's just sounds like another app that will never really be interesting/useful for me.
- mrschwabe 14y agoThe money will be spent on funding a full-time development sprint to v1. This includes the funding of sub-contractors assigned to building specific components. And a meager salary for myself, enough to pay bills so I can focus on this full time without distraction. To clarify, the idea and product direction are already mature. Thanks for the feedback - hopefully I can win you over once v1 is available.
