I can't actually help you directly with your request, but stop telling yourself that you're building something "very technical", at least to the extend that it's an impediment to articulating the business value of your product.
You're solving a real problem for a real market. You will help thousands of app-developers reach a wider audience with a better product. You're selling shovels to golddiggers, you're not digging gold - that's a good business proposition. Do some back of the envelope math to figure out what the market is worth, and come back with the question "How do we find an investor for a great business?"
- tluyben2 12y agoThat is excellent advise and we are really doing that (to the best of our abilities :); on HN I just want to be honest that then people talk for a while they push through that onto the tech and then they get slightly lost. So the part between 'this is for the millions of app developers' (tech without saying it) and 'compiling against a library' (tech and saying it) is where it gets a bit hairy.
