I would like to follow up.

From what I see this company http://www.foundrygroup.com/portfolio/ who also owns many a company including Zynga... also owns this site your speaking of..
http://www.startuprev.com/ ( Copyright © 2004 - 2012) is the main site, the "hub" is a sub domain right?

The "hub" was just added; correct?

I would think a main company that big, would have huge budgets.. or is my research wrong?

Have you advertised anywhere?
Look at what they do.. see more http://www.startuprev.com/marketing

Your up against a huge company, http://www.techstars.com/ the actual site owner and author of four published books..

Hi Newton - yes, that is true. The guy who launched it did just publish a popular book about "building startup communities" - real ones, not virtual ones, and has made a name for himself, and yes, that "hub" part was just started. It really doesn't have that many members yet - my real point was about the software itself - it really is "immediately engaging". It is actually a fairly crowed space, and he is hardly the only one I am "up against". No, I haven't see more done any marketing to speak of yet - I really have no funds at all. Most of the people you see there have joined because I asked them to join. It's funny, because if you did a "feature matrix" I would probably beat everything out there - though you would expect Silicon Valley to be completely hot at this stuff. Not sure it matters though. I will take some of the advice I have gotten here to make the site "look" more engaging, but right now that is probably the best I can do - making it "look" engaging, not to actually be engaging.
