So no launch for trade2save in June. Will advice shortly on our blog http://trade2savetheplanet.com Michael,

Very expensive for some startups... that's not in the SF area if you include travel. Also 5 months is a long time wait if you're ready to launch and your goal is to get to critical mass of traffic to the site!!! Have to agree with Chris#14 and #5!

Our service will be available as a closed beta for the next six months while we continue product development and raising our Series A round. We expect several hundred users on the platform, including developers, acquired through word-of-mouth and targeted outreach. We will not have a formal marketing launch but we will be accessible through a password-protected login. Do we qualify to apply for consideration since there will have been no press or are we disqualified because we are publicly accessible albeit in semi-stealth mode?

As it happens, it is directly opposite DemoFall 2008 in SF (2 of 3 days for each conference overlap). Too bad for those of us who have been planning to apply to present at both. Perhaps schedules can be worked out... The date is a week or two earlier than last year. As it happens, it is directly opposite DemoFall 2008 in SF (2 of 3 days for each conference overlap).

While DemoFall cost an arm and a leg to present at, you can get in free - and get just as much VC and media attention.
