> I made the decision of not starting a Redis company.
Congratulations, seems like another right decision.
I am in similar position, I run opensource database, and I will have to start company. One-man-show does not go well with most customer.

I do not mention name or url, since it feels bit like a spam. My project is (hopefully one day will be) competition to Redis.
FWIW, the culture here at HN has always been more accepting of a certain amount of self-promotion. After all, it started as "Startup News" and many of the users here are (or have been, or will be) startup founders, and everybody understands the desire / need to get the word out about your project(s).
Yeah, there's a line, and it is possible to cross it, but I don't think you'll find that people mind if you just post a link and the name of your project here and there.
