Yeah our logo has not changed since inception but it’s not a copy of YC or anyone else. Take a closer look here - http://bit.ly/2obM60y (first image is our logo)

Nearly 5 years ago, a few months after being rejected from YC for the first time, I came across your Show HN and started using Webflow to build a mockup of my product's sign-up page (I did not know how to code at that time). Over the n

I don't but I plan to write about it soon. I've written some articles in the past that will give you some idea (links below), but I now have supplementary thoughts that I want to add to those articles to give a more complete pictu

This is a great comment, and I whole heartedly agree that the questions you are asking are along the lines of what most VC's will have in their heads. I don't see my business as solving any real problems. But I believe you don&#x2

I applied to YC six times over the last 2.5 years with the same idea - https://yathletics.com . Got rejected every time but interviewed with them twice. The first time I applied was before I launched our first product and had $0

This is great for comparing cotton or cotton blend shirts. I'd love to see the same data for shirts that don't use any cotton. We make fabrics for our own brand and usually stay away from cotton partly due to the problem of fit va

1) I started building this out for myself and for some of my male friends who shared the same sentiment. 2) Men and women shop differently and I feel as if women want more choices so the model does not necessarily work for them. That said,

Thanks. The campaign ended a while ago but here are the answers: 1. We weren't featured by KS but it was on the "popular projects" page throughout the life of the campaign. It initially got there by a combination of backers f

As a backer and project creator who's running a Kickstarter funded startup, I couldn't agree more. I love your example but I want to point out that the same obstacle you mention with games is applicable to most of the other indust

Thanks for the support! Right now, the packaging is scheduled to take place at our distribution center in North Carolina. I will definitely keep your suggestion in mind and if the logistics allow, I'll see if I can work something out.

Spot On. We mention this in the detailed description/features of our product page (it's not on our website as yet). For the video, we tried to focus on some key features instead of all.

Hey Jack. You'll be surprised how expensive international shipping can be. We've done our research and it comes to a minimum of $25 for most countries. Since domestic shipping is included in the shirt pricing, we've subsidize

Thanks! The first batch will be produced in either V-Neck or Crew-Neck. When we launch our kickstarter, we will see which one is more popular. But If we exceed our initial funding goal, we will offer both options. As for the musty smell, th

Thanks! I appreciate the support. How long a shirt stays non-stinky varies between person to person. Most of our test customers have worn it for between 3-5 days without any problem. Needless to say, they were impressed. The other benefit i

Thanks so much! The validation means a lot. How much? $54 Retail, but when we open on kickstarter next week, we want this to reach as many people as possible and are going to give it out at (almost) cost: 1 shirt for $34. 2 shirts for $64.

Thanks Jeff. Great insight. The "anti-odor" feature using natural silver struck out to most viewers as something unique so you're spot on when you suggest that's the best angle. I agree that the direct-to-consumer distri

Thank you. The silver, which breaks down the odor-causing bacteria and allows for multiple use, has consistently been voted as the most attractive feature. If I make a new video it will definitely focus more on that particular feature.
