I'm giving 26 hours of time to help 26 startups I've never met

Maybe tell people up front what code stacks you would help with? Save some time.

How are you qualifying the startups you are going to work with?

Love the idea btw

This is one of those posts were you're hesitant to upvote it because it could decrease you chance of being picked.

@elwell if it helps, I will be responding to every startup that reaches out, regardless of whether there's enough time slots for us to formally meet. And I'll do my best to be helpful in those responses.

This is awesome! You help other startups and are able to get exposure for them (and yourself) at the same time. I sent mt email and hope to share my experiences with you as well.

I think this is a fantastic idea, I don't have any applicable questions really so I don't want to take an hour from someone who could really use it.

Happy Birthday Tom. I think this is a fantastic idea, as I also like to help people out and get involved with interesting products.

I can see myself doing something similar one day, so I have sent an e-mail over hoping that we can talk further.

Awesome project -- I can't wait to hear how it ends up. Definitely do a blog post afterward! (I applied.. can't wait to hear back)

@gkoberger thanks! I'll be reaching out to folks later this weekend. I'm definitely planning on writing a post-mortem as well if people are interested.

26 hours for 26 startups... Gets 26 hours each or 1 hour per startup? Because if it's the later, I don't see how they could code together in 60 minutes... I mean even you are Linus Torvalds it takes some time to read the code-base if your project is not vapor-ware.

Even you really believe that, you should have the decency to express your feeling in a polite way.
