- gketuma 13y agoI just saw the same concept 2 seconds ago from google. https://helpouts.google.com/home https://helpouts.google.com/home Anyway, sounds like a good idea. Good luck guys.
- sam1r 13y agoThanks! Can't really compete with Google ;). However, our product is different in the sense that it aims to connect people face-to-face with surrounding local talent.
- sorich87 13y agoYou should put an emphasis on face-to-face on your homepage IMHO.
- sam1r 13y agoAgreed! Currently our homepage targets UC Berkeley students who want to make extra pocket change tutoring students in-need. Our full launch is coming very soon and will convey f2f at first glance. Thank you for your feedback!
- capsule_toy 13y agoI'm not a huge fan of the differentiators in your pitch. Last minute help and non-monetary compensation seems like it'll run into logistical and scalability issues. Not taking a cut of the money makes me wonder how you'll make money. Take away these differentiators and you end up with another tutoring service.
