I see a lot of talented people looking for tech jobs when the all-star team is already on Blind. First the truth- TikTok will be banned in the U.S. in the next few months. EU will follow. Twitter is imploding and global citizens need another platform to allow for democratized freedom of speech and expression. Meta is dead and Instagram is an ad algo wasteland. The best solution for an app that allows users ease of use and functionality but protects their data can be obtained through an open source network founded as a non-profit organization. It would be the Wikipedia of social media. Except allow users to receive the best in functionality- Personal blogs like Twitter Sub-communities like Reddit Scrolling videos/picture content like TikTok and Instagram. Trending home page pulled by true metrics keywords and topics Privacy and p2p security protections I have a decent amount of funding to cover upfront operational expenses for servers and light staffing. But need the talent to come on board as additional founders and sweat equity partners. I think using open source code initially from Mastadon or others would help ramp up initial customized features. Anyone who can contribute is welcome… CTOs UX/UI Designers Data Scientists/Analysts/Modelers/Architects Dev Ops Security SWEs Programmers Market technologists Social media marketers Grant writers If you have the skills and passion we can actually make something everyone in the world can use and it would be on a free to use platform for all. Donations/grants/sponsors would fuel expenses once up and running. It would be a donation only site. No ads. No IPO. Only a NGO governing body and pure communication with the globe. I have experience running startups and working with investors and can bring this vision to life. Message me if you are interested. #jobs #tech
Any DE&I openings?
Yes. But keep in mind this is currently a no TC role. It would be volunteer with sweat equity points. Once funding/sponsors come on board there would be salary integrated. Its a non-profit.
The tech isn’t hard. The hard part is getting a critical mass of user base
That’s correct. Marketing will play a key function in integration but this is the best time as users feel like they have no home base for social media. We would be built on the premise of one app to rule them all.
Who is paying for your servers and bandwidth? Maybe ask Elon for funding.
TC or GTFO
To grow userbase TikTok spent like $30b on Facebook ads over 7 years…so unless you have a generous VC firm backing you it’s going to be an uphill grind to grow organically. But I’m rooting for your team and the world does need exactly what you described.
I can fund the MVP. From there we plan on getting VCs to step in to bridge to scale.
I can be cto. 0 yoe
No TC currently, equity points only.
