If you’re interested in problems that have been labeled with terms like info overload, filter failure, overconsumption, and screen addiction, we’d like to meet you.\u00a0If you try things that help with aggregation, news discovery, recommendations, filtering, and curation, we’d like to meet you.\u00a0If you use services and hacks to increase productivity or shield you from online distractions, we’d like to meet you.\u00a0If you’re interested in psychological drivers like fear of missing out or social media anxiety, we’d like to meet you.<\/p>\n

Enough about you, what about us?<\/p>\n

Our mission is to help people keep up with digital info in a less overwhelming and less addictive way. We’re a designer, chief architect, data scientist, two developers, and utility player. We’ve released a\u00a0prototype<\/a>\u00a0to 150 of the ~2000 users on our invite list and are currently making a lot of changes before the next release. The\u00a0First Growth Venture Network<\/a>\u00a0accelerator that has produced venture-backed companies like Birchbox, Skillshare, and Venmo just accepted us into their next batch. We work out of the Varick Street Incubator and also remotely a couple days a week. To date, we’ve raised $ from friends & family and will be raising an angel\/seed round in the future.<\/p>\n

What’s In It for You (other than $, equity, and food):<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A startup experience with a purpose
\nAutonomy to tinker and test
\nShape something that will improve lives
\nWork on things you want to get better at<\/p>\n

Who We’re Looking for:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Someone we can trust
\nYou are not a\u00a0flake
\n<\/a>You figure things out and get things done
\nYou communicate effectively
\nYou’ve built stuff using a majority of the following: HTML5, CSS3, PHP, jQuery or MySQL<\/p>\n
