Growth wizards urgently needed for Corona volunteer matching platform

What's the deal?

We have been working on helping-hands.io for the past days and we have just launched in Germany. We are now going to quickly expand into various countries and we already have about 30 volunteers in our Slack. And there are more people knocking on our door every day. We have already taken over one other platform and we expect more to come as network effects are a real thing in this case.

What do we need?

We are looking for a few people who really know how to grow such a platform through online and offline media. As we are non-profit, we are budget-constrained – at least, until we hit a certain size. For the same reason, we can't pay you a salary. However:

What's in it for you?

  • You do the right thing. We all do this next to our full-time jobs and we are just trying to make it work.
  • There is large growth potential in various countries where such platforms do not exist.
  • You will be able to draw from a large group of eager volunteers. And when I say eager, I am not talking of "doing just enough to get to the next level" eager – I mean determined!
  • You don't have to commit long-term. A few days will already make a big difference.
  • The full startup experience: Slack, Trello, launch on ProductHunt this week, time pressure, fast growth. All of us are experienced with these things and we take this very seriously.
  • You can make valuable connections and find good tech people to potentially collaborate with in the future.
  • You can work from home. Obviously...

How to connect

If you want to join, write me here or Twitter. But don't leave us hanging for too long – we are in a special situation that requires special people. And there are people who are depending on help from others who can't get it – right in this moment!

    Hi Arne,

    I am based in Bangalore, India. We are under complete lockdown at the moment, however I believe a service like this would be really useful in such a situation. Would be happy to help.
    Regards
