@ejsnowdon it is working for me but I have slow redirection from producthunt. Is that your case too? Can you retry please? :)
@jule_marcoueille I'm sadly getting a blank page when I click here https://makerz.app/ (app links are working though)
@ejsnowdon thank you again! All is working fine now for GB natives! 😉
Great idea, great app. Let's meet other possible co-founders ! How will you make money with this nice product ?
@olivier_bertil1 , we have a business model for companies, in this consumer version we want to do something cool for all the people with side projects, startup ideas or little companies outside !
@raphael_thobie : with this consumer version, do you have any kind of limitation ? (like team size, or number of swipes) ?
Great app idea by the way.
I've been waiting so long for this day ! The Makerz app deserves a much brighter future than being secluded behind the closed walls of a handful of big corps. Kudos to the team !
A key value proposition, a rarely seen frictionless UX and a company run by a top-gun team! What's the very last feature you guys added to this killer app?
Hi @pbouffaron, thank you for this kind feedback! We recently added smart ordering of the pitch card deck, so each user see them in a different order that is best suited to their interests. We plan to increase all features related to our in-app bot, so users get automatic smart feedback about the way they pitch their project or build their team!
This amazing Team created this amazing App ! Gret job guys... Finding the "good" skills and the right co-founders is so painfull. You seem to make it fun and efficient. How many co-founders already met with the Makerz App ?
Hello @bruno_jacquemin, thank you for following us. We do believe that using video, on your smartphones should be the norm to pitch ideas. It ease and speed the way of creating good teams.
Our goal was (and still is) helping companies that need to bootstrap an internal entrepreneurial ecosystem, and even I can't release our clients statistics here, I can say that since we started helping them, there has been some success stories; several projects grown as far as becoming fully independent startups.
Today, we think that Makerz could have a broader reach, and help even more people, outside the context of already existing companies. That's why we are launching Makerz free to use for everyone. I hope we'll soon have some feedbacks, metrics and hopefully public success stories to share with everyone :)
An esay App to help and bring innovation in this world.! Great!!
One question : is it intra enterprise or worldwide team? Thanks !!
@audrey_welcome thanks ! at the beginning it was only for companies workers , but now it's worldwide , inside or outside your company !
Hi @redaflorida, thank you for your feedback! It is true that we don't have any professional designer in the team and can't really afford one yet. Our current version is.. let's say colorful, but things can evolve pretty fast, and we'd love to focus on a better and leaner UX and UI in the near futur.
Is it possible to indicate any skills on the app ? Soft skills , technical skills but also sports skills ? I want to create a project around obstacle races, is it the good place to do that ?
@david_koskas Yes ! you can complete your profile at any time with more skills, and skills of any kind , and you can add personal interest either, so our algorithm will find the projects or profile that can match with you, the more you fill your profile, the more you can have relevant matches ! And of course you can do any kind of project, and I personally think that sport is a great way to start beautiful communities
I really like the idea of bringing people who work on separate departments of a company into common projects where they can get to know each other, share knowledge and build new things for the company’s own good. Besides it’s main purpose, This is a really a really interesting product to build a strong corporate culture. Better to invest into this product than a week end at Las Vegas for team building. Well.. maybe both !
@yasser_retayli thanks a lot !! Sure you can do both, but the commnunity has to be alive before, during and after the las vegas event ! this is the job of Makerz :-)
Hi @yasser_retayli, thank you for your feedback! We built this app after working ourselves in a large corporation where we got bored of such singular and pointless events supposed to bring teams together. In fact passionate people that want to launch things should not have to wait for an event to start, and it is one of the problem we try to solve with Makerz. That said, we also believe that team-building and team culture is very important later, but to do team-building activities, a team have to exist first :)
Really great idea I recommand. How can I communicate easily to my collegue about this app? How do I create an account for a group?
Really great, kiss (keep it short & simple ! Is it possible to set a specific profile field ? To indicate his MBTI for example and make connexions by this means
Power to the people! Fantastic that you open this great tool to the wider number. Another win for the team.
Thank you @arpfine ! Yes we are wondering though, shouldn't we make it more obvious that users can freely join the "openMakerz" community, but not create their own private community yet. Would it be a feature that engage more? What do you think?
There's a great team behind Makerz. They have developped the tool they use internally for their customers. They are focused on execution.
I really appreciate this concept. In my career the combinaison of specific hard skills and human ones where always key in the success of all projects. This app allows to bring together all people who may made your project a success. Which luck and great development to the team.
There are people who have great ideas, there are people who would like to contribute to great ideas, there are people who would like to finance great ideas. MakerZ brings all them together for everybody’s success! And behind the great application, an outstanding team!
@andrem an entrepreneurial ecosystem, our mission, thanks a lot Andre !!!
Wanted to try. But the Android Playstore says its not compatible with my device (S9+)
@gabriel_werlich Hi, I thought we had missed something but I have double checked and Samsung Galaxy S9+ are compatible.
Can you provide more information on your configuration? We should continue this discussion out of this thread, if you are okay you can contact us here: https://makerz.app/contact.
Really appreciate your report, thanks!
Great Team, Great Product !!! A nice app to find the best cofounders fit.
@sotibo Thank you ! And not only co-founders, Makerz can also be used to find early interested investor or mentors that can help you make your project a success and are part of your project community!
How does your algorihm pic the most relevant personn ?what are the criteria ?
Hi @steeven_kanoo, the picking algorithm is mainly based on the interests users define in their profile, on the tags associated to each pitches, and the date at which the pitches are created.
We'd also like to add a proximity weight so people that live or work close to each other could see local initiative and projects but that's not implemented in this version yet.
But of course, we are open on suggestion about what could be interesting to put into the mix !
Hi @thomasbetremieux, yes there is embed tips in the app to help you to structure a good elevator pitch in 90sec, and when you record your pitch there is also visual help that pop on top of the video to help remembering the tips and timing!
