Feedback : I would like to know the team behind "I am starting" before I can trust you with my ideas. It's exactly as you say : "people & ideas, in that order". First, I need to know who you are, and then whether "I am starting" is for me or not.

Use only one.<p>3. id='pagewidth'. Use id='about'.<p>My intention is not to point technical problems for the sake of it. But you should seriously treat this site itself as a little startup, invest your seed fund (your lowest band of 50k is enough. I know can do it for that amount :) into it and then start attracting other techies to join you. As part of knowing more about you, first thing any potential startupper will do in a browser (at least me) is press ctrl+u.
Seriously? It doesn't mention who you actually are, there's spelling problems all over the place, and the header looks like you're pitching kindergartners. You should take down the site, nuke this thread, get your stuff together, and relaunch in six months.
Alright no more criticism about designing although I am a web designer.<p>Now over to serious stuff. The background of the people behind this endeavor should be the main selling point. I am more likely to share my idea with someone who has had similar experience, that is of starting and managing a startup.
Money is important and I do find your investment range will go an extra mile in India but give some reasons to the entrepreneur to believe in you guys.<p>Just one advice: Put some more info about this venture and the people behind this.
"I am starting is a new kind of venture firm specializing in funding early stage startups "<p>who are you..? Would be beter to know you before thinking of applying...<p>Chirag..is it your own venture ?
Given that you are already in News.YC, I take that you know about YCombinator and why it is different from other similar firms. (Hint: PG & team) As others have suggested, having a brief profile of people behind this venture would greatly help.
It's good that someone is trying a YC like format in India and I hope you don't have crappy rules like iaccelerator. However, you seriously don't inspire any confidence or trust with that website and I would never take funding from someone who can't get me to trust him.
i understand you don't want feedback on the design, and i like the relaxed approach, but the inconsistent indentation on the third title (Finally...) really bugs me. i'd suggest moving it to the right to match the other two (and "What..." could go left a few pixels too).<p>also, it's "you can be A student, ..." and "we reply TO all our...". and it's easier to read if you have "corporate-like, so" (with hyphen and comma).
Basically seems like a new pseudo-VC who's roped in a bunch of rich civilians into this great-YC-idea-you-know-small-stakes-small-investments-but-BIG-returns Fund.<p>This is one of the cases where 'Launch Now, Fix later' doesn't really work out at all with your target audience.
It may be good to add some more detail to the "Who we are" section.<p>The names and expertise are fine, but perhaps something on the projects/companies these people have worked with. How much experience they have in the respective fields. E.g who is into economics, who is into technology etc.<p>If you have founded (or funded) any startups, perhaps that can be mentioned. It would make you seem more accessible.<p>In case of YC, PGs views and history where well understood and respected. You may want to highlight what value you bring to the table (other than the money).
Ah the css is so well commented to teach others/waste some bandwidth. +1
Hey guise so in the reset.css can we also replace<p>"html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe,
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6,.... { ..."<p>with a single * ... you know like -<p>* {<p><pre><code> margin:0;
...
}</code></pre>
All,<p>Thanks for your passionate inputs this is my friends ventures not Mine. All these inputs are conveyed to concerned teams.<p>BTW, I am working for NetApp, as a Marketing Manager :).<p>Don't have a start-up yet. I can understand your anger, I am also an engineer.
The blank gif shows in chrome as a missing image (really ugly) <a href="http://iamstarting.com/Blank.gif" rel="nofollow">http://iamstarting.com/Blank.gif</a>.<p>Looks very unprofessional overall - invest in a designer first and relaunch.
Folks we are not looking for any more comments on the design and how it can be improved. This just works for us.<p>If there are more ideas/feedack on rest of the content you are welcome.<p>Thanks.
Design can be overhauled later, and this is not a priority.<p>As for spelling mistakes @colinplamondon, seriously. I give you a venture firm and all you can see it spellings, brilliant?<p>The purpose of this site is to serve as a 2/3 para about the idea, not in for the webby folks.
