I like the setup - a couple of questions: - We see a lot of competitors in that space - how can you stay afloat, what is the one sentence differentiator? - How big is your team and who's doing what? - After checking your App I think you are using LinkedIN - why not for example Angel.co? Cheers, F

@felix_hau thanks for the good input. 1) It's quantity vs. quality: While social networks help you to increase your network (quantity), we are letting you use your network in a more efficient way by focusing on the relevant connections (quality).

@felix_hau 2) We are currently a team of 9 - of which 5 are focused on tech development and 4 are focused on marketing and business development.

@felix_hau 3) We are going to build nextSociety for many other social networks (stay tuned). I do like your idea of angel.co, which could serve our startup/investor community. Which add'l feature would you be most excited about?

We’ve build a foursquare-like check in system and given it a Yo!-like communication, made for professional networking. Enjoy it while grasping your professional opportunities out there!

@kwdinc I like the mindset of the others above. We differentiate ourselves as we won't introduce you to strangers just because you share a business tag. Use nextSociety to tap into the power of your existing network. Use our relevance score to filter semantically. And add your favorite professionals and never miss them when you are in the same city.

How is it different from LinkedIn? I seem to see many parallels. Novel idea nevertheless.

@schandur nextSociety is a tool, LinkedIn is a platform. It assists you on the go and shows you the most relevant professionals out of your network. It is easy to connect with the right people, at the right time, in the right place.
