Ask HN: Where to find the users for a goal-intelligence application

2 points by throwaway2873 10y ago ↗ HN

There's a (likely non-profitable) application I'd like to build based on providing people with information about their goals.

While its a pretty generalized need, I feel like there's a definite particular demographic that would enjoy using the application - People who are pro-technology, infovores, 'self-improvement' minded, people into self-directed education etc. I'm just not sure where to find those people.

If you'd like to build it, build it, it will be easier for people to self-identify as finding it useful.

Good luck.

LinkedIn is a great resource for connecting with people. You could probably make some inference based on where they went to school, Coursera courses they posted, certificates they took, etc.
