With all due respect, consider that I am a tech guy with business sense, trying to get seed level funding solo in the Midwest.

LinkedIn represents all the bullshit I wish I could skip in the startup scene. LinkedIn is all the corporate politics and multi-tiered organizational madness I am trying to escape from by launching a startup.

So on the one hand, I feel like I am the prime demographic you should be trying to attract and recruit, but that LinkedIn requirement, combined with the "you don't need a tech guy" stance; it smells like a bullshit factory.

I don't know the roots of your strong emotional reaction against Linkedin but at the end of the day we all have our own opinions. Project Skyway can't be everything to everyone. Wish you the best. And I mean it.

You're saying that you are a "tech accelerator" who values social networking more highly than technical skills. I'm just kind of baffled by the implications of that.
