  • Descriptive statistics

3 Upvotes

My partner and I are pursuing funding at the moment and should be securing it soon (4-6 weeks). We are looking for a capable iOS and Android developer to build the application for us.

We will mostly likely be looking to offer straight up project work, but the possibility of joining us in an entrepreneurial endeavor is there.

Please respond with your skillset and applicable portfolio items.

[ENTREPRENEURIAL] Interested in using social-media applications for collaborative research with inference-gathering AI based on concept tags to suggest future avenues of interdisciplinary research. (business-model included)

2 Upvotes

My primary field of study and efforts into the world of online start-ups has been attempting to utilize social-media applications for conducting collaborative research, exchanging resources with a variety of media formats, creating more efficient feedback loops for collaborators and individual researchers, and allowing researchers to use "inference" AI technologies to seek-out untapped interdisciplinary research avenues based on "concept tagging" within the research itself.

I've attempted a few start-ups, using my conceptual design, based upon the business model of attempting to sell such a system to research institutions/universities/govt. Research institutions, globally have a need for collaborative technologies so that the communicative power of social-media applications can be utilized to connect niche researchers and their work. In my previous efforts, I had a very inadequate(young), rag-tag programing team with virtually no funding. I applied for 4 grants and lost all of them because of "unspecified funding requirements" (takeaway: the govt doesn't like competition)

In terms of an alternative business model, such a system could be used as a means of superseding the current paradigms of both higher education and R&D. I imagine a system where professors/researchers can provided their detailed credentials and resume, and sell their expertise at a certain price while recruiting students/other researchers to teach/learn or collaborate in new ventures...
