That's pretty cool, very niche yet still an interesting concept. You should try to get on the indie hackers podcast. How's the income stream on this sort of business? And it sounds like its a 1 man/woman operation where you do handle everything from support to marketing?

"...sourced from a number of his interviews and articles"

Looks like it might vary

Are you suggesting never relax around black people?

Culture? You're putting the blame on the wrong people.

Technically it's not their individual money. VC money is typically a pool of money collected from wealthy individuals and funds.

> the VCs just weren’t interested in her pitch

Why not? Not even 5-10 minutes of their day? I guess all the noise coming out of VCs the last few weeks is all just virtue signaling and hot air.

VCs shouldn’t be the gatekeepers to capital. The game is rigged. Who gets funding is decided by arbitrary metrics, inherent biases, and already established networks. Personally I’m planning on bootstrapping my own business and don’t plan on asking a VC for a hand.

Interesting. Do you have images and pictures of yourself publicly available online? It didn’t pull up anything for me. But now I’m worried the pics I uploaded of myself will be used and fed in to this apps data library.

Reading the comments here, it seems like the service is hit or miss. It doesn’t seem to find anything online of pictures of me. I tried celebs and athletes, that seems to work and it actually finds and returns back the exact pictures that I uploaded.

What’s your point? That should stop them for advocating for a better system?

I live at my parents home at the moment. And all my siblings are here as well. I don’t as isolated I guess.

I did this a few months ago. I enjoyed the hands on aspect of the Docker course.

Who says he’s not doing just that? Probably funding anti-aging measures as well. All for the Ultra wealthy of course..

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. The platform is filled with racist Karen’s scared of a black person’s shadow. Embarrassing they don’t take more of stance against it.
