Looks interesting, but I'm curious, what are the differences between this and something like Thumbstack?

Ahh, a Thumbtack/Yelp competitor. It makes a ton sense to build a professional services network around the way we operate IRL: asking friends/trusted people for recommendations.

@rrhoover also https://teamable.com/ does a quite good job getting recommendations from friends/trusted people.

nextdoor has been building a neighbors referral network for ages now and it's getting really good - how do you plan to challenge the install base of nextdoor, or facebook (where this also already happens)?

No more open marketplaces with 3.5 star ratings from strangers, or on-demand apps for professional services that you’d prefer to find via a friend. No m… See more

@irace I really like the concept. Happens irl all the time. What's the main incentive for users to post referrals about the professionals?

Love the idea. Especially after task rabbit suggested I pay someone $195/hr for "weeding cleanup / haul away" this weekend.

Love this idea, I'm currently doing this manually looking to fill a job for a social media coordinator, I'd love a network to help with this

Looks good, I use Upwork, Homejoy, Thumbtack but see it's pitfalls, I'm also a services provider myself so I'll dig in here.

Messaging the professionals in-app is a big win! It's best to keep these convos away from a personal number/email for better organization.

Bryan, this is awesome. So many angies lists exist these days, but ill take a recommendation from a friends facebook status over them any day. This concept perfectly combines the two!

recommendations coming to service work is infinitely fascinating. I signed up and they took my contacts first AND THEN told me i'm on a wait list. smart roll out.

I've been trying to do this concept for dog sitting/dog walking with @doggybnb but have had lots of issues getting over the cold start problem to get the network effect value. I'd be interested in speaking with you guys about how you are thinking about it, working through it.

Seems to be a really well balanced product, as they say it is not "it is not what you know but whom you know" so hopefully this project will boost "it is what you know and whom you know" that counts
