Looking for CTO

Hello everyone, We started a project to help the urban population to access real-time important notifications to make smart decisions each day and........ (something the world can't ignore it, but learn.)

Imagine this, you have access to FM radio, just as a police officer, all time in your hand and you could say anything to the entire Bangalore but only people, whom that information is relevant, will hear you instantly.

Now, imagine everyone has the same superpower of FM radio. And, FM radio and system has ethic code doesn't let you share bad/harmful/hurtful.... All relevant information in sync with all people in the city.

Sorry, this is all I could share for now, There are more on other aspects delivering great uses but I can't. Now, throw me some questions about this.

Is this a want or need? - Finding a single room @5K in HSR layout. Or, vehicles are towed from regular road side parking space😅. Or, searching for a CTO around🤗. (if everyone willing to join as CTO will get notified instantly from this single post on grapevine, it would be magic, right?)🤯

I will check my Gmail larp.web4@gmail.com📥 hoping to find some unconventional passion, commitment for doing the impossible, and funny as I am bored with employee/boys talk. (100% excited, enthusiastic when it comes to ideas, Strategies, team management, caring, development, marketing, inspiration, and building.) BTW, hiring is on for major roles. The current tech lead is a good person, smart, intelligent just not enough experienced for fast paced delivery and he agreed for it.

Ok...let's assume u build the product.

What's ur GTM strategy?

I assume, u will bring some subscription or ad based revenue strategy...do u think people will opt for it when fb group, WhatsApp and telegram is there!

Three GTM✅ Startegies in place. Plus there is something that will serve b2b, b2c and even the government. It will have a category for an official national distribution social tool. But you don't have to worry about such basic questions.

Why will people pay for it? ✅ Done. We have such important notifications and *****, you will pay 30 monthly for it. Trust me on this, I really can't reveal. You will feel happy and good by paying Rs. 30 for exchange of information/help/support worth in thousands.

Looks good.

Government already have this tool I guess free of cost by cert

But yeah...for general public u can create such product...like public app or my neta app.

Marketing and Freemium to Premium conversion will be the key.

Good luck 🤞

If all goes well till pmf I am ready to fund at early stage and give some guidance/consultanncy!

Trust you haven't understood the platform yet. Anyway, I haven't shared a lot. If you want to join startup, then apply else thanks for commenting "tiktok for city guys😝🤣😭". It hurts. Our value is degree of importance and theirs is engagement.

He has done a few freelancing projects related to web development. He has less idea for native application development, choosing the right architecture, tech stack, framework to go with, and experience at making less buggy. CTO will increase delivery speed by his experience to choose the right one, making better decisions for our unique requirements and being self reliant.

We like to keep the team small, and few interns to do tasks. 4-7 people.

4-7 people is a big tech team for early startups. My team of 2 engineers does 200k in ARR. Our shipping velocity is pretty decent too - atleast 1 mid-sized feature and sometimes a large one every week.

200K is the same as 2L annual, right? IG, it is irrelevant. Look 'execution' at a startup, isn't something you can compromise. The faster the better. It is a simple thing, that keeps startup afloat. Product designer, Backend, frontend, and Database/algo engineer are fundamental for it. I have not even counted myself. Do start something you don't believe and when you do, don't leave any stones unturned.

I know. Remember Twitter. It was made to exchange short messages within a group of people to exchange information and thoughts. All social media is full of thoughts, but Information is really rare. On top of that real-time trustful information in today's generative age, you might find needle in haystack but not trusted information. Very soon, you have to pay for it. Because free will get you content not actual information. And the information, the ones I am talking about, is bit different from the news.🤗

If you went to some new place and wanted to buy weed, you will pay 30 just for the information, won't you?🤨😅

I have been giving a lot of replies and spending my time for it to rank in the popular section to get exposure to more devs. Yet, why is it not happening.😭

Very interesting idea. Sounds decently technically challenging too. I want to understand how getting a CTO would increase delivery speed? How experienced is your tech lead?

  • What makes you think people will be listening to it ? While the information they might be interested in can be communicated in a short text notification

  • how different this platform from existing solutions already? Telegram live / Twitter spaces ?etc

ZestySushi

What makes you think people won't listen to? If there is a fire accident below your floor, if there is a free in-house party in your neighborhood, if there is a road blocked ahead in your lane, if there is a pickpocket, scamster when you are standing, if there is free parking spot in paid area, if there is danger of potholes in your regular travelling road, if there is contamination of water in your area, if there is recent notice in your gym/amenities/apartment building, ....these just came for now focusing few categories. Will you find these on another platform out there? Will you listen now? Our platform acts as a local intelligent awareness for you. I did say hyperlocal, right?

One last thing, there could be thousands of ways to extract the same information yet people choose the easiest and known medium. Google, your entire social app couldn't make people participate in sharing and receiving real-time trustable information. You can buy plane tickets from Paytm, it doesn't mean everyone will be buying from there. Paytm could not be a super app because people perceived realities is a payment app, it's hard to change that. Plus, Paytm doesn't have people whose mission is to make it one.

Don't we have SMS for this, receiving from verified numbers. Whatever the app you are building how would you convince everyone to install it. And we have telegram groups, subreddits for this and of course news channels, sites, Instagram, Twitter ... And for emergency notifications our mobiles have emergency broadcasts

Look you have asked too many questions. It doesn't matter where the group is, how effective it is, the real question is how easily one can discover it, and how fast you can learn about it. I can't convince users to use it if it won't create such important value in their daily life. The government won't use emergency protocols for general/specific use. And just answer me this one. Do you like a superpower like Tony Stark who knows everyone and everything nearby him? Will that be helpful once in your daily life?

Regarding Social Tool, it is in overlap with nearby people, places, things,... Discovery and important relevant information sharing in the form of notifications(not one you think). All in real-time instantly.
The tagline is "A local intelligent awareness social tool to help every time when nothing can."
And vision is "To assist you in maximum possible ways, hyper-locally, in your daily life to thrive as a social being."
The Target market is Urban Population.
Fancy, Impossible but true. We're certain to achieve it.
