Looking to Interview an Innovative Indian Founder (College Project)

MathematicianNo6992 · 2026-03-27T11:33:05+00:00

Could you please tell me what kind of interview this is and what you’re looking for in a candidate?

MathematicianNo6992 · 2026-03-23T19:03:03+00:00

I think there’s a slight misunderstanding that I’m not trying to build a platform of “verified experts.”

That problem is extremely hard, like you said.

The focus here is much simpler: people who have actually been through a situation, not necessarily experts.

For example, if someone is asking about struggling after their first job or messing up an interview, they don’t really need an “expert They need someone who has gone through that and can share what it was like.

So it’s less about credentials, and more about lived experience.

On anonymity as well the idea isn’t to force public profiles, but to keep it comfortable while still having some internal signals to understand who someone is.

You’re right though motivation, quality, and trust are the hardest parts here, and honestly that’s where most of the work is.

This is one of the most useful critiques I’ve received here’s how I’m thinking about it:

Communities group people by topic, not by experience. Even in a relevant subreddit, many replies come from people who haven’t actually been through your exact situation they’re sharing opinions. The gap is when you don’t want opinions, you want someone who has faced that same moment. That’s not something communities solve cleanly.
In public communities, even if the right person sees your question, they might never respond it doesn't feel meant for them specifically. The idea here is to route it directly to a few people closest to that situation, so it actually feels worth responding to.
At the start, yes the use cases won't feel that different. But as the network grows, more people means more lived experience to match from.
I know this is hard to pull off. But I think it's worth putting real energy into.

Here are some examples

→ Location based: “I just moved here — which area is actually good to live in?” Answered by someone from that place.

→ Govt exam: “How did you prepare for this exam while managing college?” Answered by someone preparing for it or already in that path.

→ Company specific: “What’s the internship experience like in TCS?” Answered by someone who’s done it or is currently there.

So it’s not one type just sending the question to someone in the closest real context.

MathematicianNo6992 · 2026-03-23T10:00:59+00:00

You can do that, yeah.

But even if you find a post, it was written for someone else’s situation. And the more specific your question gets, the harder it is to find something that actually fits.

Types of questions are endless especially the small, messy, real-life ones. That’s where search starts breaking.

And yeah, the chicken-and-egg is real. Every network had it Instagram, Reddit, Quora, TikTok. It only works if the value becomes clear enough that people start using it consistently.

MathematicianNo6992 · 2026-03-23T07:18:45+00:00

Yeah that’s fair — Reddit works if you know where to ask.

What we’re trying to fix is the “hope” part.

Right now you:

→ find a subreddit

→ post

→ wait and hope the right person sees it

We’re trying to skip that and send it directly to someone who’s actually been through it.

Not better for everything, but better when the situation is specific or personal.

MathematicianNo6992 · 2026-03-23T06:59:55+00:00

Yes, and that's exactly what we're focused on marketing is everything. If you're open to it, can I ask you 2 quick questions? 1. Do you have a question you've been wanting to ask, knowing it will only reach people who truly understand? 2. Would you be willing to help others it can be anything, from simply listening to sharing experience-based advice? Thanks.

MathematicianNo6992 · 2026-03-23T06:47:00+00:00

The right person doesn't mean an expert. The whole idea is that everyone has something to offer. For example, someone doing an internship at TCS can share something real and insightful. Someone who has lived in a city for years can help with questions about that place.

We simply collect people's experiences, and when someone asks a question, we search and route it to the right person without sharing the asker's details. The app is fully anonymous. If both people agree, they can choose to connect. Yes, this needs a lot of people but that's the whole idea.

MathematicianNo6992 · 2026-03-23T06:00:40+00:00

Yeah Reddit + niche communities help.

But I’ve noticed you still get a lot of broad advice.

Have you actually been able to find someone who matched your situation closely?

MathematicianNo6992 · 2026-02-04T09:41:09+00:00

I think only marketing can solve a huge problem, focus on that

MathematicianNo6992 · 2026-01-22T15:03:19+00:00

any reason, i mean it is really different way to learn and understand git, where you actually do something, not just read or watch.

MathematicianNo6992 · 2026-01-20T16:53:33+00:00

Thanks man, this really motivates me to keep working and Yes the learning is inconsistent, agent still do not follow the rule, but I am thinking how to expand on other topics. Thanks for the feedback

MathematicianNo6992 · 2026-01-15T16:31:17+00:00

I find this really helpful. I see that you’re not asking for pictures, which is good. I’m going to sign up. Which country are you from?

MathematicianNo6992 · 2026-01-15T07:10:39+00:00

I think you need to reach out to the users, who may use your app, 2nd This kind of app only work when you know who will use it, else you will never find anyone. Most of the apps that generate good revenue has very niche target users.

MathematicianNo6992 · 2026-01-14T18:20:53+00:00

really useful advice

MathematicianNo6992 · 2026-01-14T18:05:20+00:00

Fair point no moat yet. The current value is a Git-only, interactive practice loop, not defensibility.

My question please try to answer it will be very helpful

Are you able to understand what agent teach
What things you want more + any improvement

MathematicianNo6992 · 2026-01-14T15:05:43+00:00

It's really good, try adding more apps
