Right now the biggest value nReduce has provided my startup has been motivation--7 weeks in a row I've shipped new features or improvements to my startup (http://Thetaboard.com http://Thetaboard.com). Coming up fast (and soon to eclipse) in importance is the virtual feedback/community the program provides. The weekly advice on specific items and general conversations about direction/business model/strategy is awesome. I'm in Ireland but booking a ticket tomorrow to visit the nReduce team and my nReduce group members in Manchester next month. Anyway, the program is evolving and I think may end up being a real bonus for young/aspiring startups.

I agree. Motivation and group energy. I learnt more from interacting with other teams.

100% agreed, the motivation and feedback are fantastic, and free!

Hey! Your product looks really cool! (Playing around with the demo.) A bit of unsolicited feedback -- the very first thing I did when I landed on your homepage was groan at the Lobster typeface. (http://www.mishes.com/articles/lobster-font-abuse http://www.mishes.com/articles/lobster-font-abuse) Don't get me wrong - Lobster's a great font, but because it is so overused I don't think it's a great choice for any real branding.

  Haha. Yeah, I actually had never heard of the font til I read that article but liked it so went with it! (my gf says its cliched and I should change so I may). Glad you are liking ThetaBoard. It's gonna be good. Email me at support@thetaboard.com and I'll upgrade you to a premium account for free.

Same story over here with http://Feetlot.com http://Feetlot.com The last 4 weeks have been great, went from prototype to alpha. When I think about my group and that they are waiting for my video (as I wait for theirs), I just can't slack around and so I get back to coding. When I record videos, I feel like I'm on TV but for ~15 people. Just can't let them down!

Same story here from Commando.io. nReduce is quite active in San Francisco and we have been involved since the first meetup. Joe and Josh are doing an amazing job, essentially they built an entire social platform in a few weeks. We really love the ability to post weekly video updates, and get great feedback from other founders.
