I completely get Launch HN part - that was not I intended. I've seen companies not 'launch' but incrementally present their releases from what they've built quarter by quarter with YC badge in the title of the post or in the guise of launch week.

Are there inherent limitations on why people aren't using...

This is the third time.In every meeting they are like "Hey, really like what you are doing - what are your plans for next 3 months". Strangely, they never have their video turned on during these meetings. There is some overlap with their portfolio companies but these companies are too large...
