Right there with you: we're definitely getting sign-ups for our startup too (www.venturocket.com), but I would prefer a faster pace.
If I may sort of hijack your post and summarize your question: how do you get people to sign-up for something about which they know nothing other than what the splash page is marketing?
Thanks to both of you! :) You both have really great landing pages. I esp like LifeLitUp, really awesome bg img. I've signed up and Liked both.
As for further info on Venturocket, there isn't anything to read about us yet as we've been keeping totally silent until recently. But here's the "10-second teaser" version of Venturocket:
We solve the universal problem of padded resumés and hyperbolic cover letters by getting people to put their money where their mouth is: to actually be exactly what they say they are, producing perfect and instantaneous match results between opportunity providers and opportunity seekers such as employers and job seekers, entrepreneurs and co-founders, and startups and investors.
