seeking technical consultant and/or cofounder for V2 prototype of social curation platform

The idea is to help users turn overwhelming options into uniquely curated, shareable decisions, starting with movies & shows. I'm seeking a technical consultant (will pay $$) and/or cofounder to build the v2 prototype.

See below for additional context. If you're interested to discuss further, please email me with some background info about yourself at:

Thanks!!!


What I'm working on >> a social curation platform, focused first on movie/show content, later extending to podcasts, games, books, music, restaurants, etc. Picture a platform like Reelgood or JustWatch, but centered much more on personalized curation and social features, and eventually expanding cross-domain.

Why I'm working on it >> to solve an annoying problem that continues getting worse - there are an overwhelming number of options to choose from and no efficient way to make personalized, shareable choices.

What I've done >> developed detail specs and mock-ups for a V2 prototype to test key features and show to potential cofounders/investors. My V1 prototype used an excel based curation algorithm, which a colleague has translated to python. A part time dev made progress on data aggregation back-end, though I've paused them for now (code can potentially be leveraged).

Where I want to go >> the mid-term goal is to capture users' trust to help them make personalized, shareable decisions. There are gigantic long-term opportunities if successful.

Who I am >> CPA background with seven years in public accounting, starting in audit and finishing in M&A (due diligence). I left my job two years ago and was involved with another startup while the foundation for this idea was still forming.

What I'm looking for >> to explore with anyone interested to work on the prototype, and continue developing connections leading to a technical cofounder(s).

    What problem are you solving for who? Why is this a painpoint for them?

    1. 1

      High level problem stated: "there are an overwhelming number of options to choose from and no efficient way to make personalized, shareable choices". Some more detail below.

      Current user experience aspects that are a pain and/or could be a much better experience:
      << not being able to universally browse/search the millions of titles available >>
      << subscribing to multiple streaming services without the ability to easily browse what's on them, which is constantly changing >>
      << lackluster recommendations because platforms fail to really understand and cater to unique user taste >>
      << not being able to easily interact with friends and other users regarding content, taste similarities, etc. >>

      18-45 age range who subscribe to multiple streaming services is the initial target.

      Shoot me an email if you'd like to discuss further, thanks!
