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 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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.

I would be interested seeing everyone's results
