Startup Pack for Marketers
- tanguygo 13y agoThanks Mat!
- mvaxelaire 13y agoGlad you like it! Would not have been possible without all partners!
- clementv 13y agoMy favorite combo: Unbounce + Optimizely + Kontest + mention can already do a lot of things only with these 4 :-)
- tzury 13y agoFiled. Will be contacted before Nov 28th. Cool though.
- Xdes 13y agoNot really interested in signing in with Twitter.
- blowski 13y agoAlso not happy that they Tweet from your account without making it explicitly obvious that they're going to do it.
- grosbisou 13y agoTo be fair with them you can see this line below the registration form. "Therefore, by applying you will automatically follow @startuppack and tweet the above pre-formatted tweet."
- blowski 13y agoTrue - I went back and checked, but I would prefer if they didn't do it at all. When a brand tweets on my behalf in this way, it always makes me feel less favourable towards that brand.
- dspillett 13y agoI always assume that if something wants me to sign-in via something like facebook then it is going to at least try to use me to push the word to my contacts. The choices at that point are: 1. Back away and live without what-ever they are offering. 2. Create a temporary account and sign in via that. If a product impresses me I'll let my friends know myself - the product is not in charge of what I do/don't say about it.
- richardv 13y agoHas anyone on HN been successful in a previous startuppack round?
- 300bps 13y agoHad no idea what you meant until I saw: We check applications then draw lots for 500 winners To put it mildly, it's very misleading to submit a story that states, "Startup Pack gives away $5,000 worth of tools" when the reality is "Startup Pack holds sweepstakes for $5,000 worth of tools".
- knes 13y agoI Got the Dev Pack which was pretty good. Just started using the New Relic coupon on my Rails app actually.

- Ricapar 13y agoI understand the need to spread the word, etc... and you are giving out free stuff.. but forcing people to follow and retweet your message, without even giving the option to edit the text.. I don't like it.
- minimaxir 13y agoI'm curious what happens if you use the Inspector to modify the text. It's a pack for hackers, after all. It's not a bug, it's a secret test of character!
- 300bps 13y agoThe act of forcing someone to retweet a message could be reasonably construed to violate the consideration clause in Federal and State sweepstakes laws. http://contests.about.com/od/c/g/consideration.htm http://contests.about.com/od/c/g/consideration.htm Any sweepstakes that requires consideration from an entrant is illegal.
- joeblau 13y agoI want the developer one :)
- ebellity 13y agoImpressive list of some of the best tools / SaaS out there. If they add Heroku and New Relic next year that's basically all I need :)
- dangrossman 13y agoI wish some of these bundle sites would reach out to me. I'd gladly offer free months or discounts for Improvely to startups! By the time I hear about the bundle, it's too late to be included in the offer.
- paolomaffei 13y agoForcing to tweet AND not making clear it's a sweepstake? That some two dark patterns.
- atox 13y agoThis pack contains a lot of valuable tools, well done to who ever put it together. But please, indicate clearly that it is a lottery where 500 people will win.
- qnickmans 13y agoGreat pack and even I read all your comments on forcing to tweet etc. It is still a non profit initiative that gives away to startups really great pack worth a lot of money !
