#2You know what would have made your statement more credible? "Show HN: Here's our MVP, we just f#*king built it". Let's hope we will see that one soon!

#3I'm right there with you. my favorite book right now is "we're going on a bear hunt": we can't go over it, can't go under it, can't go around it. I guess we'll have to go through it.

You will. Don't worry. We haven't stopped, and won't stop working until we get there.

#5"Now if you’ll excuse me I have a crowdfunding site to build."
I wish you luck, but I found this to be a hilarious closing for a public mea culpa about "startup bullshit".
Re: Just. Fucking. Build it. (Or lessons learned.)
#6Are you trying to solve a problem, or do you just want to be able to say you have a "startup"?
From your first post, I would have said the latter. You wanted Y Combinator behind you in much the same way that a struggling band would want to be signed by a major label. I was so happy to read, "Success is defined by making a product that people want and will pay for. That’s it."
Keep it up! And always remember startups are just businesses. And business is centered around transactions: You give me $, and I'll give you X.

Haha fair point. It didn't sound nearly as cocky in my head.

#8Making a post about "Just. F#*king. Build it." means the same thing as your last one.
You are much better at marketing than building. You may be better off that way. A partner may be a better way to go. A crowdfunding app really doesn't take that long and if it's taking you that long you should partner with some help.

Are you actually building something that Kiva and Kickstarter may have overlooked, or is failing on? If not, then why are you building it?

You hit on exactly why I wrote this second post. We aren't the guys that want to found a startup to be able to say we founded a startup. We're working on Seedlauncher because it's something we're passionate about, and it's something we want to exist for ourselves.
