#2I like the premise, but at $3000/month it'd be hard to live in SF (which is a requirement). More importantly though, it appears the goal is to lock-in startups, then as they scale you make more money.
For Dark, this makes total sense and is a good business model, for a new startup - it seems like an unnecessary risk.

After tax, $3000/month will get you a closet in a chinese restaurant in SF

Presumably the 3k/month would supplement your already existing funding or make it easier to achieve ramen profitability. You wouldn't want to rely on the 3k alone.

OP here. Exactly, we're helping out, not funding you :) We're hoping there are some folks already in SF where we can help stretch their runway a little bit.

#7Can we get some more info on what exactly "Dark Lang" is? A Google search yields absolutely nothing.
Definitely sounds interesting though. I have a lot of ideas, and would jump at the chance to cut my salary in half in exchange for total freedom to pursue them.

#8I looked around the website and couldn't find any mention of what Dark even is. I keep hearing that "Dark is a new tool to help you build a complete scalable app in an afternoon", but how does it actually do this? Why would I want to base my startup on this platform?

#9Why do they require living in SF?
They plan to make money on support in the future (I believe), so why this model won't work for other spots on this planet?

$3k/month, free office space, and great support from Dark. It's a good deal if Dark is a good platform to use.
