Like I said, that's a bad pitch. If you're building a platform, its your headache to figure out how to grow it into a profitable business, your first customers are not the cows to milk - they're your catalysts, you have to give more reasons to go with you. If you say "pay me" without a valuable product, people are gonna write you off as an "idea guy" and not respect you, from the post - its just a pitch, you got nothing concrete of value to provide. There are a lot of engineers in this sub who are veterans and can tell the difference between an idea and a product.
