Hi everyone,

I’m a technical founder based in NYC currently building an early-stage social learning platform focused on helping people teach and learn skills directly from each other.

The idea started from a simple problem: a lot of people want to learn new skills or meet like-minded people, but existing platforms feel either too transactional, too expensive, or too impersonal.

The app combines social networking + peer-to-peer learning. Users create profiles based on skills they can teach and skills they want to learn, then discover and connect with compatible people nearby. Think of it as a more social and human approach to learning and networking.

I’ve already been building the product myself using SwiftUI, Firebase, and modern iOS architecture, and the MVP is actively in progress.

I’m looking for a co-founder or early-stage partner interested in:

  • growth/community building

  • product strategy

  • marketing/content

  • startup/business development

  • engineering

Ideally someone excited about building a consumer-focused startup from the ground up and shaping the vision together long-term.

If this resonates with you, feel free to reach out.

The app helps people connect through skills they can teach and skills they want to learn. I believe meaningful connections and personal growth happen best through real people, not endless scrolling.
