Can I suggest that this is turning into a HN Matchmaking service

Perhaps a little codification might be good:

* A Maker puts their idea onto HS with "MatchMake HN: " * Any interested Investor then replies * Maker chooses Investor (possibly publically) * A month later a "Show HN" is published.

I would be interested seeing everyone's results

I think this is a creative idea, but it may be difficult to find the first users. I hope the HN community can try it out and provide feedback. Good luck guys

I agree, “Show HN” should work, maybe with some standard way of indicating that they’re interested in investors contacting them.

You should probably make this into a webapp if you want to get the HN crowd interested in it.

I really like the idea for this company. Seems cools.

In the true spirit of "Show HN" though, how about sharing some code?


We've built a robust platform that will allow the HN community (and others) to make investments together exactly as you're desribing. I spoke to Sam Altman about this a few weeks ago at lunch. We're less than a month from launching so if you'd like to talk to me directly about this please feel free to email me with my username <at> gmail and we can talk further.

Yeah, that would be nice. :)

It's always encouraging to see how much traffic a post on HN can generate for a new startup.


Cool idea, why don't you have a go at it and share the outcome on HN.

I like this idea so much that I'm willing to join hmexx and e21 by matching the offer for the right idea.

Further, the right idea/individual would get my full, undivided attention, resources, and limitless brainstorming/pivoting sessions.

I'm also a fan of the idea of documenting the process and milestones on hn for the benefit of future teams or projects.

My background is in law and business and I'm interested in technologies that bridge offline and online domains. I'm a daily reader of hn but a new poster.

hmexx -- thanks for stepping up and encouraging more of us to do so.


If you make an app for this, please do announce it on HN. It sounds like a great idea.

Thanks for sharing this, I'm hoping it gets some traction on HN. It seems like a great place to not only vet your idea but to also build a diverse goal-oriented team and I look forward to posting my side-projects on it.

I'd also recommend cross-posting it over on ProductHunt and BetaList.


That's a great idea. If you'd be interested in doing this semi-officially on HN (maybe something along the lines of an AMA) please email hn@ycombinator.com and let's co-ordinate it!

Well, I don't know anything of the quality of hn, but if you are interested in analytics we could kick off one.

Looks nice! I think this could be a really successful app!

It would be nice if you could keep us (the HN crowd) updated on the business side of things.


Author here. This post is about an idea we're considering implementing. Would greatly appreciate the feedback of HN community. Thanks!

I'll be around for any questions or discussion.


that's a really good idea! who would we talk to about providing that kind of service to HN?

I think we can do it at a big scale here at HN again.

Note: this is was previously on HN here[1], but it's been few years.

if you need any help with a project, a startup, or an idea, job, anything, just post it here. Mention any details that might be required, and make sure to add contact details!

Let's see how we can get some good rolling here.


You should post your to Show HN, it sounds like a something that HN community might like. But make it available, people in here will want to test it immediately.

Fantastic idea...I encourage you to make this: I'd use it, and so would a significant proportion of HN users, I'd say.

Have you thought about publishing a subset of HN's data so others can experiment with it?
