Awesome, thanks alot for your feedback. A place to find mastermind groups is essentially what we're working to build. We just don't use the phrase because most people have never heard of it.

Yes, a way for startups to learn from each other using peer groups. We're looking into also adding expert advice-givers for those who need it as a revenue model.

The goal is to match non-competing businesses together in small groups. Not to just follow each others progress but to act as a sounding board/mentor to each as well to get over the whole "lonely at the top" feeling frequent among entrepren

Interesting, thanks for you input. The sharing confidential things is what I'm worried about too. Are the non-disclosures usually enough to overcome most fears? Also, are the people you see participating paying fees to participate?

Do you know if these advisors advise multiple other startups or entrepreneurs? When you meet with them individually, is it usually something fresh from each of them or do they repeat the the same things over?

Thanks for your help. Well how do you get out of that niche? Using the below comment as example, seems like it can be a bit risky not having domain expertise entering something new, right? I guess it can help to have a partner who know's

Yes, we had a launch party and predicted a flood of people banging on our door to use our product. For some reason it didn't quite go that way. We launched on 1/11/11 to add a coolness factor to it but to no avail. Here are two great lin
