Ask HN: Why was my first question killed?

I've been a reader for about a year now and posted my first question to review my startup yesterday - http://news.ycombinator.org/item?id=1538163. I was encouraged that I got a few upvotes and then it was killed.

What did I do that triggered the kill? I assume it might be the low karma, new user, or because I posted my own 'clickable link' ? Maybe all three? In any case, I'd still like the advice on the startup and would like to know how to repost without it appearing as spam. Or should I hang out for awhile and post comments before submitting?
