The investors page kills your credibility both with developers and with investors.

If this product does anything of value, it needs to proove it by using subscription based crowdfunding itself.

The way I was looking at it, this is something we want to form a real team around and build in 4-6 months time.

While we could try to leverage our own idea, without having this site known and heavily trafficked, the subscriptions will be minuscule and probably not enough to achieve our goals - look at early Kickstarter. An influx of cash would help get the word out.

Plus, we're hoping to work with SaaS companies who sign up and see which products/ideas want to launch with us.

I do see your point though. Maybe this is something where it needs to start small, using the idea itself as proof.

It would let you better test the pain points for this approach by dogfooding the process yourself.
