I know this is a long shot, but I was inspired by Brian Armstrong soliciting HN and getting a chilly reception back in 2012. But I believe that there are some killers here on HN who want to enable Visigoth like sacking of competition!We have a completed MVP of something new and exciting in the social space. Think Tiktok but with a subreddit/hashtag hybrid style organizational structure with short audio, video, pics, or thoughts (tweet like text); combined with better groupchats, w/ highlights of those groupchats appearing also in the feed as well, so the feed has both content from both private gcs and public boards. I did a beta launch @ a few Ivy League clubs, and the retention is good. Here’s our niche:
- “I’m into kickboxing, but it doesn’t make sense for me to post something kickboxing specific on Insta/Tiktok. Reddit is too anonymous for personal stuff. But, if there’s a social platform where I can flex my specific interests...”I have 2 cofounders, and others who help. I’m a top ten STEM student @ Columbia atm who has previously received offers from some awesome vcs. Cofounder #2 is an excellent programmer and ideal CTO. Cofounder 3 graduated from princeton; works in tech consulting at a good firm + successful startup exp. We’re also helped out on occasion by a Rhodes Scholar, among others.I’m looking for someone social who can help us with user acquisition. If something is dreamed up with the app, we can get it done basically same day. We just need to get the users in the first place, and that’s not any of our core skill sets. So, we’re looking for someone who can help us to digitize one or two niche hobbies, from which we can close rounds and scale like crazy. This role is decidedly nontechnical.If you’re interested, send an email to getamberapp@gmail.com. I’d like to sit down for a quick zoom call, and introduce the product as it currently stands as well as myself and get to know you! Let’s take over the world together?
