You don't live in the US and your startup doesn't base in Silicon Valley? You have a passion, an idea, but think you don't have enough support from your community? well, it could be harsh for you, for people like us, but the beautiful part is we can change that, and this is the first step, we can form a community for people like us, to share thoughts and ideas as well as struggles in your life as an entrepreneur and we can support each other. we can survive and succeed in harsh environments and we will. It's always better when we're together

No offense to your project, but if you feel disadvantaged from not being in the Silicon Valley, segregating yourself into your own aggregator is not in your advantage. Plus, if I recall correctly about half of HN users are not US based.

Also, your title is misleading.

the disadvantages are clear, and I won't discuss about them or cry out for help. What we mean is that we must work double hard to earn what we deserve, maybe you're lucky to live in a country with not-so-harsh startup culture, we're unlucky, we live in Vietnam, and Thailand, and it's harsh here, (I think maybe because you heard the word "harsh" so often in your startup life that now you see it as an everyday word) we have the same dream with the guys in Silicon Valley to build our own startups and be a success, we hope we could make an impact with this project by supporting people like us to continue with their dreams, just by sharing stuffs and experience that helped us survive til this day

yea I think there must be some misunderstanding here, we're not segregating ourselves, we built this for people like us to share thoughts and experience, and support each other. It does not mean that we want other entrepreneurs to use our site instead, it is just an option, when they think they need support from people like them, they can know that there's a solution out there for them
