Vaismania··on Ask HN: What are some ways of proving yourself to a startup?
I think you're choice of actions are perfect.

I wouldn't worry much about not having an official company name behind you - I've done this type of product validation a few times for my own ideas. In many cases, the customer is so focused on the value proposition that the company name is irrelevant. Again, it depends on the size of the transaction and whether its a B2B or B2C.

Should be fun, good luck!

Vaismania··on Show HN: Spacetime locates a contact on a map by texting them a link to click on
Awesome - I've just used it with a few buddies and love the simplicity! My only concern is that I'll have to send an additional msg to new friends to get them to click on the link as the msg sent via the app may seem a bit spammy. I wonder if you can somehow solve that.
Vaismania··on Dear Y Combinator, we bet you we can solve a problem of yours in 72 hours.

Vaismania··on If I were a single founder...
I'd argue on the fact that having two business oriented co-founders can sometimes hurt you more than having a lone co-founder.
