I dont even know how to downmode someone. How do I?

I agree 100%.

As he says, congrats! I agree, with many of the comments. Relax, take a deep breath. Think about what went wrong, whether it was a bad product, bad marketing, bad team or no funding and recognize what you learned.

Take that knowledge and try again. If they say that 1 out of ten startups make it past the first 3 years, then you are one more closer to the 1 out of 10. On the flip side if you never reach the one out of ten, it may be time to consider becoming a career politician :D

The Adventure of Leadership by Hap Klopp is a great weekend read.

I am working on my startup all the time. At work, at home, out on the town. I am always talking about it, emailing about it, and marketing it. To some I may look like a whore because there is not one family member or friend who I have not asked if they have connections to anyone in property management or real estate investment. Why I don't drop all my work and focus on it full time is lacking of capital. If I had enough money to get by for 6 months then I would do it in a heart beat. But that is not the case.

Lol. Very true. I am a coder, but on my startup I am not coding. It is because my partner's skills far surpass mine at programming and my skills at online marketing, sales and pr outweigh his. So I am focusing on branding and awareness while he focuses on the nit and gritty code. It is a great relationship. But we are also best friends and have worked on projects together in the passed.

ew. I am not skilled graphically so I cannot provide any advice. But I agree with one of the previous users that the logs do not contrast well.

This is actually a future component of my project http://www.propertystampede.com. We are initially focusing on property managers, but then later to parking lot managers. Our goal is to create a site where someone is relocating for work to a new city, can login, pick an apartment, apply online, then find parking near their new place of employment and purchase a monthly parking pass...

What do you guys think?

It is interesting to say whether it would hurt or help vc and seed funding. My theory is that it will help. Seasoned investors have seen recessions before, and just switch to investments that provide the best reward. I think as a credit crunch exists, I think competition for those funds will become slimmer because less people can afford to take the risk of a startup which means it will be easier to get those funds.

You may actually see more funds available than normal. Could be great for our startup, (www.propertystampede.com).

You know, I wish I had this tool when I was in astronomy...it would had been a much better class.
