Ask HN: Is anyone using Gigwalk?

1 pointMankhool3 comments

I'm in Vancouver, Canada so cannot use it. If you are using it, and even if you're not, I would like to hear your comments about it. Why? Because I had just started to generate Angel interest for the identical idea when it launched and now must adapt to the fact that there is already one player in the market.

I'm not using Gigwalk, but I'd like to offer some advice: the fact that Gigwalk exists, and released before you did, and got investment capital means...someone else has already done the hard work of proving to an investor that there's maybe-hopefully a market, and that they think they can capitalize on it.

This is a killer opportunity for you - jump on it!

I was thinking along those same lines - there is my beta, and in fact I was referred to another angel group just today. Instead of feeling discouraged, I feel great for all the reasons that you mentioned - $1.7 Million of investor validation in the idea. Thanks!

No problem! I couldn't find it at the time, but I managed to dig up this link for you too: http://davidcancel.com/true-startup-competition/
