#32Who is this for? I can't imagine "top tech talent" is going to want to subject themselves to endlessly being pitched to by VC's who thinks that writing their entire app for them means you get just 5% of the company. And I can't imagine without coders, it would be useful to VC's trying to recruit...
Hey! Founder of Cuppa here. I hear you, it was one of my concerns at the start. But we highly curate the beta invites and through the onboarding we consistently mention it is NOT for self-promotion or pitching because that leaves a sour taste in most cases. And we take the membership seriously, 3 strikes of such incidents reported and you'll be suspended! We are attracting folks who love talking shop in a friendly en…
Three strikes is a HUGGEE number, if I sign up for this thing and get pitched, I'm just gonna bail, not report it

#33I started using Cuppa in July and have met around 30 people from various backgrounds. I love that you don't know who you are going to meet till you select their table. Cuppa has been a major value-add to me. The "no sales pitches" rule is awesome and has resulted in meetings where both of us have walked away with something useful from the call.

#34I had quite a few cuppas during lockdown. Not so much since then but I need to get back to it.
Made some awesome connections and had a ton of interesting chats around many different topics. Big up to KP and Michael for building Cupa

#36A Show HN can't be a landing page with a wait list. Please see the rules: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html .
Sorry about that. I didn't know that rule before I posted it. But it makes sense to limit mass email captures by scammers.

#37I've had around virtual 10 cuppas and all were pretty great! Super enjoyed the ability to introduce myself and talk about what I'm working on. That's a muscle I haven't had to use often while in Covid.

If it was new accounts then its like a job interview. What is your work experience answer if you dont give me job then how can i have experience. + if they never commented then at least you cant say anymore that they never commented. There is a chance that they are shady but there is a chance that they are genuine and they follow or respect only few people. Those people who shows them real path.
Some people are good front of camera & some are behind the camera.
I hope you got my point.
Enjoy your days!
I am enjoying cuppa & my suggustion to you just give it a try!
