Sandi MacPherson, Founder of Quibb, a private community of tech tastemakers sharing professional content and discussions, tells the story of creating an application-only social network. She also shares her vision for an important project helping address the lack of women in tech: the 50/50 Pledge. In this episode, you'll hear...
1) The mission behind the great 50/50 Pledge (visit 5050pledge.com to learn more)
2) How an application-only model for a social network affects your model and early traction (and why it's CRUCIAL that Quibb use this model).
3) How Sandi has been able to build a social network where thoughtful, meaningful, and human conversations actually happen in the comments. (Are we sure this is the internet?)
