Also, major flaws is founders aren’t incentivized to give karma. In fact the opposite—if they don’t give karma their budget stays intact longer. There hard side of this market is quality comments—the money is the easy part to solve, the mechanism that definitively rewards your best contributors is harder, and is not there yet. Also, this really isn’t really idea validation, which would imply that reviewers are matched customer persona, this is really more QA / feedback. By describing it as validation you don’t attract the right users, and you disappoint the users who do come who expect x but get y. Do I move up a level for this feedback :)
