I am Billy Guan, co-founder of CocuSocial (https://www.cocusocial.com/) participating in YC S17 batch. CocuSocial is a marketplace for cooking classes that are hosted at restaurants and hotels.
Traditional cooking classes are expensive and intensive, but we want to make them affordable, easy to access and fun. Our customers think we offered a relaxed way of learning something whether it is an interesting background about a cuisine, a useful cooking technique or a delicious recipe.
To lower down the cost of cooking class and make it accessible to everyone, we partner with local restaurants and hotels who host cooking classes during their slow nights or weekends.
We encourage everyone who love food or cooking to try us (only in New York now) especially if you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or any other special occasions. We also help planning private events like corporate team building activities, bachelorette parties, bridal showers, fundraising events, etc.
We would be happy to hear your feedback and thoughts.
We have been trying to schedule an event to use our gift card for 6 months in multiple cities and each time it is canceled at the last minute due to low attendance. We end up being the only ones that sign up. Very disappointed and would NOT recommend.
