Welcome to HN. Don't bother with the sockpuppet accounts next time. This sort of thing is quite likely to get upvoted organically; there's no need to cheat.

I could understand (but in no way respect) their decision for doing that if they had a decent product or good idea.

This looks like someone is having a punt on an idea after spending 30 minutes hacking together a website. I can't understand the idea though - we pay them for us to do work? I couldn't see any mention of what actually happens to the 'startup' or IP afterwards.

Hope you all like this idea! Get tickets for our first discounted weekend at www.foundler.com/welcome

Ok, so this is not a hackathon. There are no prizes. We pay you to work on an idea, and then after the weekend that is it?

Was wondering the same thing? If he's not willing to offer a prize, I'm willing to post one with $50k prize with the assumption that 1000 signups of $100 per person.

Also, really needs to be coaching during the weekend.

Got error 508 resource limit reached, then it came up after two tries.

I'll look into it. We're getting a ton of registrations and traffic right now so our servers are working hard. Thanks for the heads up :)
