Hey guys, this keeps getting flagged and I'm not sure why? Instead of flagging it can you give some feedback? I'm doing MVP testing and customer discovery right now and since most of the people in this thread are genius, I value your feedback.
I suspect the link itself is getting flagged because it reads more like a scam than a startup.
* Wall St Technology for Main St. - Wall St is the stock market, Main St refers to small business. That isn't your target market, so this initial reference is wrong
* Make Additional Income From Stocks You Already Own - sounds scammy, doesn't give actual context of what is happening.
* You describe hedge funds using algorithmic trading, then say you're going to automatically write covered calls. As far as I am aware, this is not the same thing.
* The video ... is that your team? It says SMB. Now we're wondering who we're dealing with
* How it works...connect your account... I understand that you're going to need this step for this to work, but I think you're going to have a REALLY hard time getting people to trust you. Why should they? What reason have you given them? I'm sure this was an issue with things like Mint.com when it started, but they weren't making promises about creating options calls on your behalf.
Perhaps you're on to something, I don't know. I don't have an issue with low returns (nobody does in this current market), and I'm skeptical of anyone offering something for nothing.
I think your approach is missing something. We don't really know anything about you. Perhaps start with why you started this business, try to build a connection with the reader, and see if you get less flagged .
