I cancelled their account. It has a weird policy of deleting backups from hard drives that have not been connected within the last 3 months. Very weird policy.

I have already been once where you are today. My simple suggestion would be to leave on a good note and go pursue something better. There are many more guys who are looking to join a startup and I am sure your bosses will get hold of someone else. Given the fact that your company does not actually server any active customer, 1 month of No-Development would not be of much harm to the company owners.

Thanks for the reply. And Glad to know I am talking to the Nasdaq CTO :-) Anyways, I thing the consul officer did not have much idea about how tech companies function and she must have expected a CEO, CTO to be an aged guy. In that case, is she not aware of Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter???

Although the website looks good but you cannot call it a startup right now. It is just another website or app that lets me do something. You should understand the difference between a startup and a simple web app.

Just building a web app will not make your idea into a business / company. You need to chalk out marketing strategies, revenue streams etc. Most importantly you need to get users to use your site without much force!

My 2 cents :-)
