@erictwillis hey Eric, I'll be in LA tomorrow for the CAA World Congress of Sports conference. Our start up will be meeting with several league executives to finalize yet to be announced partnerships - would love to take over the channel while I'm there! Let me know if I can help in any way.
Hey @erictwillis I would love to participate in this. There are a ton of cool startups and amazing founders in the Santa Barbara ecosystem (where I live). I'm going to sign up and will share some ideas for who I could bring to the table. My email is alex@kehaya.com if you want to set up a time to chat.
@samir_doshi Getting lots of views. It's too early to know what everyone thinks, but I have gotten lots of positive feedback about Kiki.
Report
@erictwillis my spidey sense is tingling... I love the potential. @msuster is the only snapchat account I watch daily, BUT - I watched @KikiSchirr today and love the authenticity. Good luck, and I'll be watching @bentossell tomorrow!
Hey Product Hunt,
So in Maker Hunt, we used to do "Maker AMAs" where would have a maker come on and share knowledge about their industry, company, etc with the community. People loved them. It was a bit of a predecessor to Product Hunt Live (which is my favorite PH product). I love anything that helps unlock knowledge so that it can be shared and everyone benefits.
As Snapchat is currently surging with guys like @msuster and @justinkan jumping on, I thought there was an opportunity to accelerate knowledge sharing.
So I've launched Startup TV. Every day a new maker, founder, designer, investor, influencer, or anyone interesting from the tech ecosystem will do a "takeover" on our account to share their story, what they're working on, valuable tips, deep dive into their local startup ecosystem, etc. Sometimes it will be an individual maker, and sometimes we'll have an entire startup team taking over the account. We'll also do exclusive product demos where you'll see products from awesome teams well before they're ready to launch to get the inside story on what problem they're addressing and how they plan to conquer the market.
Sometimes we'll focus in on a city and cover startups/founders and sometimes will do interesting things like stack a series of takeovers with millennials(multiple takeovers on the same day) so they can give you the inside scoop on the products they're using day to day.
I discussed something like this almost a year ago with @eriktorenberg when we launched Product Hunt Global. I wanted to do city coverage of the Product Hunt meetups and the local startup scene.
We're starting off with @KikiSchirr@bentossell@benln@hackapreneur and few others that will be announced soon.
I hope you tune in. Please follow StartupTV on Snapchat. I'm open to any suggestions.
What type of content would you like to see?
I'm talking to a designer about going through his typical day of sketching up a design. I'm talking to a founder about a behind the scenes look at their current funding-raising process. Another founder wants to do a prelaunch with us. So what or who do you want to see?
If there is anyone you think I should reach out to specifically to do a takeover, you can tag them below and I'll reach out.
