The feedback is really valuable, so really appreciate everybody taking time to help here. Indeed the website is quite old at this stage, and the reason I'm asking for feedback is that we want to update and renovate it.
thanks for your feedback!
Thanks very much for very detailed feedback!

It's extremely slow to load, even before the spinner starts. This should really be a static site.

I'm thinking to rename to sysforce to move away from "cisgender" connotations

We started in 2018 and most of our freelancers are in Eastern Europe, including Russia but now many of those who were in Russia (and equally Ukraine and Belarus) relocated to other countries for known reasons). Now we even have some freelancers from the US and LatAm, as well as Armenia, Georgia, Poland, Serbia etc etc

Initially it refers to both CIS countries labour market and CIS in a sense of a known IT abbreviation

If we get a few more comments like that we should seriously think about renaming to sysforce or something
Not necessarily white and not necessarily male even if you have a first glance at our website

There’s a bit of an inspiration or one of the possible meanings https://www.military.ie/en/who-we-are/army/army-corps/cis-co...

None ever asked this question before, it must be a bad joke!
If the answer is yes, cisforce.com solves it for you

Try to get into YC without an MVP. Again, it starts from 1% not 4%. 10k should be enough to build an MVP and with MVP and traction you would have much better chances of getting into YC. Indeed, we are looking to partner with YC.
You have a right to express your opinion, but your comment is misleading:

1) 6% is not almost 1/10. It's almost 1/17

2) It starts with 1% which is 1/100

3) 10k is enough to build an MVP in most cases

4) The "seat" is going to become smaller and smaller as you issue more shares for options and new investors

Depends a lot on the stage, right? If you dont have a product, 10k is enough to build one in most cases. And it's pretty early stage
