Let's

A mobile social platform to simplify meetups, that I conceptualized, funded and built.

Chat is the most commonly used method to plan meetups with friends today. It is time-consuming and presents few opportunities to apply automation to services such as identifying optimal meetup time, automated reservations, ticket bookings, rides, etc.

I designed and built Let's to address these opportunities. The MVP was released with an interactive activity sharing system and personal feeds. Real-time chat and integrations with Phone Address Book, Google Contacts, Google Calendar and Facebook, were added subsequently.

Let's was also my experiment in understanding emerging models of remote work. A large portion of the MVP was developed as a series of competitions online, before development was shifted to a more conventional scrum team.

I shut the platform down in July 2019, as I could not find a product-market fit strong enough to justify further investment.

“…brings an uncommon perseverance to delivering on whatever projects he undertakes, and an intuitive understanding of systems and processes.”
