Congrats on the launch! I like the idea.
Have some questions for you, Arjun:
- Do you have the app or only the web version?
- How many people are there in the product? From which countries?
- The conversations arranged will be via video?
- How do you attract the professionals?
- And the most important one: how do you match people?
Thank you! And have good luck today on PH!
@yaroslava Thank you so much for your support!
Thank you for the questions!
- We are currently prelaunch and it will be an app.
- We have around 800 users in the sign up right now!
- They are currently message! But you don't have to send requests. You can chat directly!
- We are still trying to figure that out! Maybe Linkedin is our best bet or certain communities. Would love the feedback!
- We have an algorithm that I created before and won against some of the biggest companies in the world!
@shaqay Thank you for your answers! Appreciate that.
As for attracting professionals, you should start with figuring out the strategy:
- the countries you'd like to cover
- in target countries define the communities, professional social media
- try small (or depending from budget) promo campaigns in the target domains: advertising, PR articles, influencers.
I do hope that you've already worked on business model. At the moment I highly recommend you to find marketing person to help you with the point I mentioned above.
Good luck on the scaling! Your idea is worth going on.
I have lived and worked around the world in some major companies working in amazing positions in finance, analytics, and project management all at the age of 26.
Before I knew anything in the business world, I applied to 600 jobs when graduating from university a couple of years ago. It was such a pain and stress to get those "unfortunately" emails. When I finally got a job... I learned that a lot of people get jobs just by building relationships with others.
Holy, that blew my mind. Since then I started meeting a lot of people and built my job transfers through it. From then I decided that I would love to connect with other people. This is why we created www.shaqay.com!
