Hello all, We’re working to build a new kind of venture network…

Hello all,

We’re working to build a new kind of venture network - www.nextcept.com - that’s focused on the stories and experiences behind a person.

We think resumes are pretty much useless and we’ve all struggled to find a co-founder. We’re focused on making it easier to bring people together. The concept is fairly straight forward - consider two similar situations. You’re meeting a couple people for the first time. The first, you bullshit with about what they do, the weather, and maybe some other tidbits. The 2nd, you begin to ask random questions that elicit actual thought - what are your thoughts on a screaming children in a grocery store, do you judge a person based on all their decisions or just the ones that affect you, or what would you do if you didn’t have to sleep? The point is, these questions create a situation to share who you are and not simply what you’ve done.

We’re looking for people to join and share their experience. You may run into bugs and we’d appreciate hearing about those, but our real goal is high level - what do you think about a new way to find a job or a venture to join. Or if you hire people, what are your thoughts on this concept for finding people? Thanks.

    Hi, I tried creating a profile and couldn't get in - I kept getting an "Invalid Zip" error. Is this platform available for people in Canada?

      I've been focusing on the US because I have some location based searches going on and US zip codes are easier to work with - as far as I know currently. I'd be glad to look into how the two could mesh. For example, zip codes in the usa that are close in number are also close geographically. Do you know if the same is true in Canada. I would suggest picking a zip code just over the border into the US if you'd like to try it out. Hope that makes sense - it's hard to build everything on day one. thanks for the thoughts.

        True, zip codes work a little differently in Canada. They contain letters and numbers, and consequently, a little bit harder to decipher. I can't say I know exactly how it works - only that the first letter represents the region. Luckily, I was able to get in with a NY zip code!

          hmm. I bet it's similar. Thanks for sticking with it. I'll add Canadian support to my list.
