We've been thinking about that and locations based as well. Thanks for posting @benln!
you may want to separate free from coupons as the site appears to be primarily coupons. it's a bit misleading imho.
@passingnotes thanks for the feedback, do you mean the slogan on the site should be a little more clear?
@hellonoam @passingnotes I agree. I clicked through to the site expecting companies to be offering free products, and instead was disappointed because it looks like some RetailMeNot site.
Wow, I ended up finding out about a lot more startups in these various spaces such as Food, Home Services, than I previously thought existed. Nice!
Hey guys, Elad and I decided to build VCFML when we realized how awesome it is to live in San Francisco. We were having coffee at Philz and started listing cool apps that offer free meals. We then listed a bunch of clothing apps that were offering free clothes, then moved to massages on demand, then cookies, then flowers… After our third coffee we were still naming apps.
We thought we’d put them all in one place and find a good name for it. Here it is - VC Fund My Life, or in short VCFML.com! A curated list of coupons that actually offer awesome deals.
Let us know what you think!
I know it goes against the site's purpose, but I might even end up paying for some of these services after using the free coupons.
My friend + I talk about how VC is subsidizing living in SF via absurdly inefficient startups. This is good collection of many of them. That being said -- it looks like everyone using the referral codes will be funneling lots of referral credits to the lucky creators of this site. VCFML to the next level. Touché.
Good idea, I'm always using new services and only later discover about discounts - storing everything in one place will hopefully help me remember :)
@nikhilkal some of those are definitely our codes, but you shouldn't need to worry about that. We just find the best deal the company has to offer and publish that. Order some free cookies, give it a shot.
@hellonoam @nikhilkal My mind is blown by how many free cookies you're going to be able to order. I mean, you've got to be over $1k in referral credits for that... $1k worth of free cookies?!?!
This makes miss the days of PayPal subsidizing the use of their in-shop payments at certain stores. *That* was definitely letting a company fund my life.
@bhavesh Yes! We were debating about launching with or without it. it's kind of annoying searching through all coupons to see which are valid in your region. We'll work on adding locations tags/filters.
@abargmann: @hellonoam and I have both lived in SF for a few years and used many services. We've put many of those on the site, and always looking for more things to try
I love the idea and I am very much looking forward to utilizing the products featured.
