AngelFace - Use facial recognition to identify VCs

by
Product Hunt
•
To find an Angel or VC in the bay area:
1. Go to a meet up or an event
2. Come up to a person who looks like an angel investor or venture capitalist
3. If they are an investor, you'll see their information on the screen.

Woah this is wild. @rrhoover would love to hear your thoughts on this. @toshvelaga @igor_nefedov what brought about this idea? Would love to hear the story behind it.
Ryan Hoover
LOL. Curious if my face is in the database. 🤔 The Verge article has the backstory.

@rrhoover yes sir, you are in the database✌️
Ryan Hoover
@igor_nefedov uh-oh. I'm exposed.

Feature request: when it identifies the VC, can it send a Linkedin request, and in the request message attach an image of the VC as s/he appears standing before you?

Does it work on an iPhone?

@june_swatzell Hey we made this mostly as a joke --- so it only works on android and we don't have plans to make an ios version :)

😂 I could see this being used successfully in other contexts. Neighborhood watch to identify/report known criminals. Parents at parks or schools to identify sex offenders. Coffee shop (with opt-in) to identify you and start your order.. will the AI write your name wrong?

@jordan_delgado This product would be a national hit... If I lived in China: https://www.forbes.com/sites/zak...

Angel, not Angel

This is a really really slippery slope. Does someone have the expectation of having their career info remain private when they're out in public, if they haven't explicitly revealed it?
Jason Peck
ahh should have read through all the comments first...

Nice troll

This seems creepy. I would not want to be on the other side of the camera and have my photo being taken.
