I'd take the opposite approach if anyone ever asked me what my business was - every interaction is an opportunity to refine and tighten the elevator pitch.

Just do it and ask forgiveness if someone moans about being OT.

Thats a great insight, thank you. I'll just drop the website (work in progress). Gamma Fi: https://gammafi.com

how long have you been working on it? have you shown it to any potential customers yet?

I've been working on it since December. We've been showing it some people in relevant positions and getting feedback. I literally threw up a website to sign up for Atlas so it wasn't meant to be marketable just yet

IMO the first thing that you should have on your website is an e-mail collection mechanism. I want to sign up to know when you have a product because this looks promising.

damn, I have a hard timeline to get launched in August but will try to throw something up soon because you are right.

When do you think you'll have a working demo? Would love to show this to someone on my team.

I've took the whole month of July off to finish this up with the goal to have it finished by August 1st

Looks great! Who did your website?

thanks. I did :)

Way to you go, OP. That's four new people who never you existed who now care about you (as ephemeral as this may be.)

I feel I've been MVP-ed by your website (not that there's anything wrong with this.) Every link led to a 404 but since I clicked on every link to see if that were the case, I'm guessing my site visit didn't tell you anything about what I was interested in the most. Sorry about that.

Yup. I threw that up quickly and haven't had time to finish (been finishing up the product). I put it up just for Atlas

Your logo is quite similar to Google's, enough that I was momentarily confused opening the website.
