The problem I'm trying to solve is ideological. I want to see more peace in the world and I think one of the reasons we see so much strife is because too many people are OK with and tacitly approve getting something for nothing. I was accepted with valME.io, a CMS/blogging/forum builder to help spread the idea that trading values makes a much more peaceful environment.

Ouch. Just received the following:

> We are deeply sorry to have to send this email, but unfortunately an error occurred in the software that triggers acceptance emails. The acceptance email was sent to you even though we are unfortunately not able to include you in the Startup School Advisor Track.

> Although you are not in the Advisor Track, you have, in fact, been accepted to audit Startup School and will have access to all of the content just as soon as it is made available.

> Again, we regret having made this error and raised your expectations unnecessarily. We hope you continue working on your startup and that Startup School is a huge help.

Makes me think someone saw this post and said "Hmm... maybe not."

You could develop a CRM that doesn't create false expectations by sending emails to the wrong users.
