Maciej did a great job getting this all set up. Though I wasn't selected, he responded very nicely and gave me some thoughts about my idea. And, he picked six great products that I'm okay having been chosen over me. I'm very excited to see how they progress. I really like this micro-investment program. I am currently working on my side project and how I can bring it to realization. I wish there were more programs out there that are willing to advise and help out single-founder products with less of a focus on investment. I'd be willing to give 5-10% equity in my eventual product for $300 if I got some smart minds to giving me real feedback and spreading the word.

What sort of project is yours?

  My project is called Whiptail (http://getwhiptail.com http://getwhiptail.com) and it's a service that sends you text messages when you're at the bar or a house party to encourage good behavior and discourage doing things you'll regret. We'll be offering a few different sets of messages to choose. From with generic "Would your mother approve of the text you want to send?" to something targeted towards appropriate behavior around an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend, and we're even working on a set built for students with social anxiety to help keep them calm in party situations. It was definitely a side-project that I created for my own use, and due to PIC-PC encouraging me, I am working with a few friends into making to something that anyone can use. We just put up a pre-launch page yesterday and a logo is still being designed, but we hope to ramp up our efforts and have a public MVP in the next week.
