I joined in the hopes of getting feedback, but so far the site has just been broken. I can't figure out how to interact with startups, what each video is, uploading is broken, and the founders haven't been very responsive.

I hope things will get fixed, but the experience hasn't been great so far.

Hey, I am one of the founders and yes the peer product right now is pretty broken. Our bad on that.

Because we have a demo day / investors / mentors we had to build V1 of all the products first - so that we could get companies to demo day.

As of tomorrow we are starting over on the peer collaboration product / onboarding to make it awesome.

We basically had the first cohort of users go through our system. Now we can get past MVP's on the different products.

That being said I would really appreciate your continued feedback!

And thanks for giving it a shot in the first place!

Hey Joe, no problem. I didn't know you had a demo day, I just joined a few days ago. I sent you another email a few hours ago, if you could reply after the demo day so I can figure out why I can't add any startups, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for your help!

I'm sorry to hear it has been so rough, it is very much a situation where the founders have been working on the train as it is running down the tracks.

There have definitely been issues, but in general, the team has done a good job of addressing them.

I'm quite sure that right now they are overwhelmed with demo day and that once the dust settles for that things will get straightened out shortly.

I hope so too, at least for the startup feedback. As it stands, the product is entirely broken...
