What is your startup? I've got extra money to possibly invest.

So here's the thing. There are so many startups out there that deserve funding, that don't get it. Many of these startups fail due to lack of funding. Yeah, critics can say startups that were meant to be will succeed with or without funding, but I disagree.

So, to be short, tell me what your startup is. I'm interested. Please have a working demo to show.

By the way, if you want to put a face to this I'm @romilpatel

You know what, I'm not part of a startup. And I probably won't be able to get one going until I have something to start with (monetarily that is). I'm trying to start writing apps for Windows Phone 7, because I think it's going to be a great platform, with a big margin for expansion. Microsoft hasn't really had a great reputation for wireless OSes, but I really think WP7 is a winner.

To tell you the truth, I'm pretty drunk right now, but I'm still confident in my ability to write code. If I just had enough money to buy a WP7 phone and pay for a plan to go with it I would be set. I've been hacking on the emulator so far, but you can't really get a decent sense of how everything works until you actually have a device. I have done an internship over two summers at the same company doing iOS stuff, so I think I can genuinely say that I have a decent amount of experience with mobile development.

My name is Evan, I'm drunk, and I want to start a company. 500 bucks would definitely be enough for me to buy a phone, start developing, and eventually release some products into the wild. Think about it.
