Startup in private beta needs co-founder

2 points by Zeelch ↗ HN
I'm working by myself on this project: zeel.ch I launched the private beta a few days ago and I badly need a co-founder to help me out with marketing/PR. Having also a hacker on board would be great. Is anybody interested?

It is nice to see Twitter Bootstrap in action. You are from switzerland?

Yes, I'm based in Zurich, Switzerland and very willing to relocate.

I'm from Basel, Switzerland. Could you give a short description of what the idea behind this is and where you want to go with it?

I added a short description at the top of the discussion. I've just generalized and extended privacy settings that Facebook and Google+ offer for content residing within their platforms. On the one hand it's possible to assign permissions to web content not embedded in a social utility, on the other, I can provide degree-of-separation ranking of the content users have created, for example comments/reviews. So, out of the hundreds (or thousands) hotel reviews on Tripadvisor, you could get just a bunch, written by people close to you (in a social-network degree-of-separation sense). If I could only get Tripadvisor on board...

In a nutshell, it's a document db coupled to a graph db to provide degree-of-separation based permissions on whatever users want to place on the web. I'm just extending Facebook's privacy settings to web content sitting outside of Facebook.
