Sounds sort of like an elevator pitch, but more directed towards you than the startup. I guess that's what we expect, focusing on the people behind the startup instead of a mix of both.
But where's your execution? Talking the talk is great, but showing people what you've done is better. Less vague, more concrete. In fact, this is entirely about why we should bet on you, not your company.
I'm sure you can sell this idea (whatever it may be) to someone and get some investments, but I figure HN is a bit more sophisticated than that. Do tell, why do you deserve this funding over someone else who has products to show for themselves?
It doesn't help that you don't have any karma here. You just popped out of the blue today, eh. Or a throwaway, I don't know. I know I don't have karma either, but I'm not trying to sell.
I'm just passing by.
- angelheaded 14y agoThanks for the response. This is a throwaway account because I'm trying to be somewhat discreet about this approach. I don't want my business to be publicly attached to my personal appeal; I'm trying not to directly prostitute it. I thought that might seem kind of desperate and/or tacky. As far as the "why do you deserve this funding" part of your question, I did attempt to answer that in my post, illustrating that I'm willing to work to the bone to be successful. In addition to that, I do have a live and working product to show for myself, I just didn't want to seem cheap and post it here as a link. Thanks again for your thoughts.
