Thanks I added it to my profile and here it is also [email protected]


Long story short my co-founder quit after we got rejected a second time when making it to the final round of an accelerator program. After she had quit she still wanted a very large sum of equity for all the design work along with the domain name which she owned. I ran out of money and couldn't come to an agreement with her so I had to just give up the idea.


I'm not in the Valley and not sure how to get in contact with these people.


The seeking freelancers thread seems like an excellent start: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5637667


That is a great way to find some extra work but I've found it only works well if you post within a few hours of the thread starting. Watch out for it on the 1st of every month!


Thanks I posted here with my skills

Its not? What make you jump to that conclusion?


Complexity does not matter it just has to be one page. I'm doing this as an experiment I'm going to post soon with details about my thought process towards this.

Edit here my article explaining why I'm doing this http://99dollarprojects.posterous.com/99-project-a-week


The idea sounds awesome and I signed up but the site needs to be redone to be far more clear on what they are offering. I showed this to 3 people in my office right now and no one could figure out what they were offering until signing up and there is no clear call to action to go and sign up to the free version and then doing a proper upsell to the paid from that point Site looks nice though but needs to be far more clear on there product and the free option on the main page.


Not having a link to the Free plan was a conscious decision. In fact, once we made that decision, revenues increased.


I think not being stuck in a traditional corporate job helps. Every time I have worked for large organizations new ideas were looked down upon and were impossible to implement while working for yourself you can do whatever you want so it leads you to the freedom to create more ideas.
