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

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

We're doing crowdfunding for equity for small businesses. So we're like Kickstarter aimed at for profit businesses and you get stock (or a revenue sharing agreement)

Making 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.

I take this as a compliment as one of the main things I focus on is marketing. However, even as you made this comment my two co-founders have been furiously coding to get our MVP ready to roll.

Hrmm, it'd be much easier (better) to just do it for a fee. Considering most startups fail, and they'd have to setup their corporate structure a certain way to give stocks to more than 75 investors, this may or may not be worth building.

The programming aspect of this concept is easy enough, it's the legal aspect that you guys should do more research on.
