>it's 90% MBAs and Recruiters and no talent.
Probably because having talent in the tech industry makes it relatively very easy to get hired. These sites are trying to solve a mostly non-existent problem.

Our little niche is we get the hackers signed up when they signup for hackathons. Big university hackathons need a lot of value to keep the cash rollin' in from sponsors.
I think you guys should make the "hackathon" piece more prominent, I think that's your main value proposition. Otherwise, to someone who doesn't immediately realize the hackathon niche being a part of it, it seems like yet another LinkedIn type website for developers.
I agree.
In fact, I think ditch the whole "eHarmony for ..." metaphor, and go for more of a "From Hackathon to Dream Career" kind of thing.
Admittedly that's not a very poetic line, but it better portrays your vibe and doesn't make me react "another OKCoFounder/FounderDating/WhiteTruffle/etc ughh im not looking for an MBA/where are the coders?"

Yes, this guy and keerthiko are right. Good advice.
How is this different from whitetruffle?
Tends to suffer from the same problem as dating sites. Instead of 90% men and no women, it's 90% MBAs and Recruiters and no talent.
