Show HN: We built this so startups don't waste time raising money

It seems like a good idea - but the site as it stands now doesn't give me any confidence that any VCs will actually see proposals, and even if they do, that they would take it seriously. Are any VCs on board currently?

You need to find some way to get way more information into the pitches... For example financials, forecasts, a plan. I can't imagine ever investing in something based solely on a short, free-form text pitch (and I'm not a VC.)

Also just a little note on tone - going back to my first point, I'm not sure any VC would take kindly to the idea of "Get Spammed" - You might also want to be careful with your test data ("some rich fart" for example) lest you put off any VCs that happen to see this whilst it is on HN.

Hope that helps. :)

At least an "about" or "faq" is missing. I (like a lot of people I would guess) skipped the "tutorial" or walkthrough and couldn't find it again. It's not like the website is a challenge to use, but some more info would be nice, including an email to send feedback and suggestions maybe?

Hey folks, OP here, would love your input on what we can do better with this site!

Hard to tell if this is satire or not...if it's the latter, probably a little more explanatory text would be useful, though the interactive walkthrough is nice.

The main problem here is the bidding mechanism. Clicking on "Bid" sends me to my OS mail client (which, in my case, has never been initialized)...at the very least, go to a contact form rather than having the "bids" be sent through plain email.
