#2Our goal is to make it easier to choose products/services for your business based on the companies that actually use them: What analytics do YC companies use? What do small non-profits use for CRM?
This product is pre-beta, and we definitely plan to add more features/data, including reviews. We'd really appreciate feedback on what would make it more useful for you!

#4This is a pretty nice idea for people not based in the valley or that don't have a startup based network.
I like the idea, but the site design is a little painful to the eye.

Thanks for the feedback! We are trying to condense a lot of data into a small amount of space, which can be trying... Anything in particular that could use some design love?

This interface is absolutely terrible to browse. Really. You have data but the presentation is very very bad. I actually start to feel physically sick while browsing it.
I am not trying to be harsh, I am trying to be straight-forward and honest, and I really do start to feel that way when trying to figure out how to use the site. It took me a few minutes to understand what the front page was telling me. Once I got past that, the layout for products/users was terribly confusing.
Data visualization is hard, I get that. But I would suggest you spend some time thinking about how to take these large (thousands of customers) and diverse (Hosting, CRM, SEO) data sets and simplify their presentation. At this point it feels like a regurgitation of sql tables, and that's not something I want to use.

Got it. Thanks for the frank feedback.

#8The design is bad, but you're serving a need that is big enough (for me, at least; I'll probably come back). I'd an accounting "accounting" category (I know of very few accounting "solutions" for startups).
I would also get a new domain name. I already forgot yours. In general I would stick to one abbreviated component (e.g. B2BREVIEW) if you're going to stick to this route. Finding another, more memorable name, should be easy. Better name may also marginally improve SEO.
Like the business, and if the index is robust enough, I would imagine easy to monetize.

Thanks for the constructive criticism. We definitely want to flesh out the content, and accounting is a category that several folks have asked for (i.e., software, human accountants, etc).
