Hey there! I think you mentioned this site in a reply to me a while back, just saw the link.

The site's lovely and has a warmth and non-sterility to it that I find most early-startup websites don't, so kudos on the presentation there.

My thought is I can't see it immediately applying to me if I were a random Sam in the workforce, but maybe if you took the angle of marketing as a 'intentional corporate bonding exercise' that HR and people managers quite often like. They'll often schedule little 1-hr sessions of video tours, MBTI personality discovery, etc, and this strikes me as a much less offensive version of the latter. ;)

Perhaps being able to show that employees can match up with other coworkers in a set time (eg 30 min, 1hr may help? Looking at how personality tests sell themselves to corporate may give some other subtler marketing clues.

Hope that helps, and good luck!

Yeah kind of marketing is as a team building tool and bettering corporate culture is our angle. We wrapped up our MVP and now just trying to get into the door with HR. Any ideas on how to get into the door with HR?

I will pass on the website comments to the team haha
