Thinking of applying as a single non-technical founder. All I have is an idea but I am sure with the $37 dollars I could hire an awesome programmer to put it together for me! EDIT: Seeking technical co-founder to help build out idea. Must be prepared to sign NDA before equity can be discussed.
Good thing that in the brave new future world of 2013 labor and marketing are completely free of all costs, opportunity and otherwise.
I would like to take this moment to announce PICPC-VC, which is an automatic follow-on investment, structured as uncapped convertible notes, of $50 available to any founder accepted into the PICPC program.
It does seem like cost are negligible today, but on deeper analysis theres a lot of costs beyond simply hosting. Just from memory for my startup (Authy.com), initial costs were: Domain: $1000+ Design: $3000 Video: $3000 Hosting: $400 Depending on your skills this initial costs will vary. An although I agree you don't need external investment to cover them, you should at least plan to invest $10,000US to cover your in…
What does it do exactly? I couldn't figure it out from the website and I churn through a lot of landing pages.

I was looking at Authy the other day. What does it do exactly? I couldn't figure it out from the website and I churn through a lot of landing pages.

It's a way to add two-factor authentication to your website or app. Instead of having people log in with just username and password, they'll also have to enter a code. They get the code from the Authy app on their phone. (PS I'm not affiliated with Authy, just trying to be helpful.)

Two-factor auth is a thing where when you log in to something, you also get a text message, or open an app on your smartphone, and type that into the app you're trying to log into. The purpose of this is that even if someone figures out your password, they can't get access to your account, because they don't have the 2nd form of auth (hence two-factor.)

Domain: or get something longer for $9. E.g., authyapp.com or getauthy.com
Design: http://themeforest.net/ $15-$25, or DIY (depends on how much design matters for your niche--for Pinboard it clearly doesn't)
Video: You don't need no stinkin' video
Hosting: Maciej is recommending http://prgmr.com/xen/ for $32 (but can you actually run a modern app stack on just 128 MB of RAM?) Anyway, even if you need a gig, that's $100.

* Domain: $9 * Design: $50 (Themeforest) * Video: $5 (Fiverr) * Hosting: $0 (Pick your choice)
I've been thinking semi-seriously about this & I came to the conclusion that with $37 you can actually get a LOT done.
