I was actually shocked by the list of sponsors, because it looks like they didn't have a couple hundred for a quick professional design job. Text gifs, inline script tags, default UA fonts.

Yes, I understand that the site isn't the focus here -- but no web startup would get away with a mess like this, making this whole thing feel very ironic.

Not to mention that you're making an unfavorable impression for your new startup when your intro video link looks like it was made in MS Paint.
