I don't understand what you are going to make.
Interesting idea. I'm having the classic reaction that people had to Amazon when it was new (don't people want to shop in person, touch the stuff? what if stuff needs to be bought same day?) - but am not sure if this…
Wow, kind of a crazy idea. I don't know how you get started on this. I do recommend learning to code yourself; at a very minimum, showing progress on learning to code will help you attract a technical cofounder. How…
Hm, interesting; I'm excited about Slack based project management but my initial instinct is that this is not it. In particular, it looks like you don't integrate with Slack for the messaging component, instead choosing…
Cute. I know little about IoT -- explain how the language is abstracted? (last I worked on Arduino it was Processing/C++ I think). Does Favor compile down to the languages that are used, or how does this work? To get…
Very nice. If I had a website I might be excited about this. What is "standing up"? I'm interested in your Flytrap language. Can you bring it to other platforms, like mobile?
This is very ambitious! Has there ever been an educational game of this nature that was extremely successful? Oregon Trail, Civ, etc. don't count because they do their teaching through the environment. I'm not saying it…
Heh, did you watch "The Intern"? Thanks to that movie, I actually think this is a really awesome idea. But, obvious two-sided marketplace. I think you are likely to hit bottlenecks on both sides. Are the signups willing…
You spend a lot of time talking about what you're not (crowdsourcing) - but I don't fully understand what you are. Ballpark numbers would be really helpful for this.
OK, you have a network effect product and a two sided marketplace. How will you get users on each side of the market?
How much will an average household save if they go with you guys? I remember looking into this at one point in NYC, getting confused and thinking that the power companies were all pretty much the same. If you aren't…
Brings a whole new meaning to "pain point". I love it. As a person who needs dental work, I'd love to know which dentists in my region use your tech.
Your paragraph of text is making my eyes glaze over. Wikipedia is popular because it is easy to use and shows up in search results. However it's not clear that your thing can or will be the same. I need a concrete…
Hm, this is one of those ideas which (like daily fantasy sports) seems to be in a gray area around online gambling. I don't know if what you're doing is currently illegal, but it definitely is one of those things that…
Wow, this is really engaging. I love scrolling through photos and seeing them on a map, and I could imagine using this to plan my next travel destination. I think this is very browsable if there is a lot of content, so…
I can see that there might be demand for this, although I would not recommend this app to my friends so that's a bad sign. I fear that casual people trade stocks for certain reasons - only one of which is to make money.…
Neat! I've been a CS TA. However, I haven't needed a piece of software like this (to be fair, your site seems to be down so I can't understand exactly what it does right now). One thing I'm worried about is that in the…
What is O2O? I like the idea. I recently had to buy an adapter for a sound system on very short notice. It wasn't available at Best Buy but it was at a nearby local music store. I got lucky because the Best Buy employee…
Hm, I was going to say "installing Slack bots is not very hard" but I looked at your homepage and I got excited about the product. I want to try it. I think you should change the title of the apply hn to "Siri for…
OK, I need you to give me a typical profile of a user (what they like to do, etc.) to understand why the user would join the site and contribute.
I've never heard of openbazaar so you'll have to explain that part to me in your pitch. This pitch would probably make sense if I was a storeowner who wanted to use openbazaar but didn't know how or it was too…
I don't understand the primary use cases. I'm a train station, serving movies to travelers? I don't understand where your product comes in -- travelers can already get movies on the internet. I get that it doesn't use…
To get started with an idea like this, you really need a specific use case or customer who wants something. Then you build it for them. You've dumped a big list of features, but at the early stage it's important to only…
Oh "Latam" = Latin America, correct? Are you taking on any jobs yourself, or sending every task to a freelancer? How do you maintain the quality of the work?
I'm confused about your actual vision. You need to start with a small concrete idea to build at first (the things listed in your "stop gap" section are good examples). I'm a huge fan of m-kopa solar, which is along this…
