I don't like this current tired of promoting a start-up when there is just a landing page, Its just not interesting. We know nothing about what they are doing.

I would never enter my email address into a "LaunchRock" powder landing page, it could easily just be someone collecting email addresses for another purpose. I think there is also a trend of people putting up these "landing pages" with absolutely no intention of making anything unless they get some interest.

If you are starting something interesting, show us what you are building! If you aren't ready don't promote it!

This is fair. I agree, this is very premature, but I think we were just very excited with the fact that we've reached a stage where publicity is our greatest ally. Since this is going to be a high-school powered organization, we figured it'd be best to have users who are interested in the idea "ready to go", that way there's no downtime between our live app and traction with schools.

I didn't mean to plug our startup with empty words, I just wanted to see what sort of traction could be garnered from these outlets. Early-adopters are the backbone of any startup, for-profit or not-for-profit.

Just to clarify, I like the idea a "non-profit organization established to teach high school students how to build for-profit startups" but you have nothing just that sentence to show.
