So do most startups

Ha. Well played my friend. It does seem as though everyone I know has at one point attempted a "start up." It's fun to work on something that you conceived of though, and easier now than ever for a lot of people. Still, the amount of people I know that have been successful with their start up is very small. That said, I think every one of them has enjoyed at least trying. But yes, most of them are cut off "mid sentence"

We decided early on that we would NEVER think of Hubski as a start up but rather as a project. We don't think the connotations of a startup are appropriate for what we are trying to do.

Startups imply revenue/profit/etc. To my mind.

Me too and don't get me wrong, I have other things I would like to work on that are geared towards those ends but this isn't one of them.
