How would you explain what your startup does to your Mom?

Hey mother dearest. You know how you’re too timid to speak up about small things wrong during a restaurant experience and spend your entire day stewing about it? Your baby boy here is making a simple and anonymous feedback app you can use to send private feedback to any business. That way you can get it off your chest and go about your day in peace.

hahaha, this is an interesting and funny question! πŸ˜… When I tried to explain to her as a friend, she looked at me strangely without saying anything. Then we both started laughing so I cut the story short: Our company created a program to facilitate communication between teams working online. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ Check our site here: https://collabwriting.com/

Hey Mom, imagine you have 1000s of friends. On Facebook? No, on LinkedIn, it's like Facebook but for jobs, businesses... Now, how would you keep track of those friends, I mean you have 1000s of them, some of them are your family, some are colleagues, and maybe some are your clients or investors if you are into business. How would you organize all those people and let's say you talk to them daily, how will you not get lost in your messages? I don't know, it seems like a headache, I can't even remember birthdays. Well, my startup LeadDelta helps you with that, you can have all your friends in one place and categorize them how you like, later on, if you want to check up with your family, you just click a button and all your family members pop up, same with any other category. Imagine you doing this on a bigger scale on Facebook for business people. Sounds cool, btw dinner is ready.

Hey Scott your explanation is amazing. I immediately relate! πŸ˜… Hey ma- You know how you love to use emojis in your texts? Well, Spriteley is like an upgraded version of that. You can build an avatar that looks like you... or anything you want really. It's just like modeling with clay! When you finish your design, send it to a friend, and your creations will interact together! Now when I hop on a plane, my personal avatar can send you a little Bon Voyage wave and kiss instead of an unexpressive "g2g airplane mode" text. In return, you can give me one last big [virtual] hug before take-off!
