As a founder, you do need a certain type of blind arrogance, but if you've been doing this for a year and not a single person has said "hey, you're onto something..." maybe you should start listening to them.<p>Any startup will have nay sayers, and while the traditional thought is to say "meh, who needs those guys?" you should still be getting 3 or 4 people out of every 10 you pitch saying "cool idea! I see the potential!"<p>Chances are, if everyone you pitch says, "hmm. I don't get it," your potential customers will be echoing the same. Unless you're your own customer, at a certain point, you'll need to convince someone (your customers) you're worth something. If you haven't so far, you may never.
