Ask HN: Do you live in a city in the United States?

1 points by alec_kendall 6 years ago | 3 comments

I'm working on an idea for a SaaS product that is geared towards cities in the United States. I'm trying to gain a better understanding of a specific landscape in cities across the United States. I don't want to share too many details on this post but if you live in a major city in the United States and would be willing to answer a couple questions I would greatly appreciate it.

Maybe hop in your car and take a tour?

Unfortunately, I don’t have the finances to do that or the available time. An investor contacted my University and is interested in acquiring my idea from me. I built out my MVP to serve a hyper-niche market and I’d like to familiarize myself with as much information as possible pertaining to other cities so I can form an understanding of the potential scalability of my idea. This meeting is in a week so I’m pressed for time and don’t have the financial resources to go city-hopping.

Hmm... needs data stat, can't go reap data their self, asks for free data from locals... So you want to flip our info for a quick profit. Nice.

I have a really hard time believing you have something to offer given that you seem to be just starting a research phase you are unwilling to invest in beyond a post on HN.
