#2Pretty cool! I just signed up. I think its an interesting line of dialog to have going in the background, and am hopeful it will make the path to starting and running a startup clearer for me.
The signup process is kinda neat, but some of the questions made me go "errr..."
edit: i see they(you?) use typeform for the signup form; never heard of them before, but pretty neat!

#4The domain is dumb, Slack's hash logo is a nod to IRC and not Twitter. It doesn't represent tagging, it represents IRC channels.
Edit: hey hastagstartup.co downvote brigade, hashstartup.co is still available. So is hashstartups.com which is even better.

lol. let me call you the waaaaaambulance.
I get what you're saying, but its still fair to call it a hashtag, and for them to call it hashtagstartup.

Very nice. I was just about to write how awesome the sign up was. I didn't know about Typeform.

How is it fair? It makes no sense at all and just reminds me of kids growing up with Twitter calling that character hashtag regardless of context.
Solid hacker news etiquette there, by the way.

FYI that form fails hard on Mobile Safari if you happen to rotate. Form elements go offscreen and you can't pinch zoom your way back to them.

Its fair because people identify # as "hashtag" anyway. "poundstartup" has a more questionable ring to it.
Also, you get what you dish out. Saying its "dumb" is what earned you the 15 year old in me. had you said something like "i disagree with their use of the word hashtag" it would have given an entirely different tone, don't you think?
