Thanks to the overwhelming support and insight I’ve received from the Hacker News community, I’ve decided to give back. If you haven’t heard of them before, Hacker News is the brain child of Paul Graham (P.S. Read his essays), an investor working with YCombinator. Hacker News is simply the best place on the web to learn about startups, venture capitalists, and anything pertaining to the life of the entrepreneur. Topics from A/B testing to Angel Investing are all covered.

The best part about Hacker News is that a lot of the people active in the community are actually working on a startup. Advice is freely given by people that are actually building things instead of people that just like to talk.

To show my appreciation of these people, I am offering 2 or 3 ad spaces in my sidebar for free for the summer (end of August). The ad space will completely integrate with my other paid sponsors (see MediaTemple for an example) and will include a few sentence summary of your product or service.

To apply simply send an email to editor@codesketch.com with a short pitch of your product (One or two paragraphs will suffice) as well as a demo account (if applicable). I would be happy to answer any other questions at that address as well.

Thank you HN community for being the best entrepreneurial resource online.

Sincerely,
Paul Hontz
