Looking for Technical Co-Founder for Social Debating App

by Jon

Hi!

I am looking for a full-stack developer looking to kick start my business idea. The idea is around tackling the scary polarisation of views in our society and to promote discourse with those who disagree with you in a gamified way. This is both mission-driven, but also highly scalable.

In particular, I would love to speak with developers with experience in social media, entertainment, P2P communications. Experience will involve software engineering, of course, but also soft skills of ambition, management experience, and drive.

I am currently working for a Tier One strategy consultant, have 3 years experience in consumer goods at a $40B valued company, and I also have a strong VC network. Strengths are in strategy, communications and product.

With a technical founder on board, I will be able to go ahead a start the raising process.

I'd love to connect if you are interested?

Jon

Hi Jon, I built something similar about 5 years ago which I've now exited. I'd be happy to lend you some advice and share some of my lessons along the way.

  Sorry for my delay here - this would be fantastic, thank you!
  
  I've paused the dev side because of some roadblocks that I see (social roadblocks in terms of maintaining integrity). What's the best email to reach you on?

Hi Jon,

I've had a few ideas in the space in the past. However, I find it hard to position this as a "saas" product. More likely, it feels like social media. Social media depends on huge volume and adoption and is much harder to execute. Plus, it tends to devolve to an advertising model which ends up driving the polarization (Youtube, etc.).

How do you plan to overcome these challenges?

Cheers.

  Great point. Effectively the MVP is a tool to stimulate debate. Yes there are certainly social elements - let for virality of the product - but the crux of it is really a tool which may be used socially, or in class, or in a business. Let me know any thoughts!
