더 보기 1. Likealke Intro:

Likealike is a free app that lets you find new friends in New York City
through meet-ups. What's outstanding about Likealike is that it matches you
with like-minded friends based on mutual interests. To simply put, it’s like a
combination of Meetup and Twitter where a user can follow like-minded people
on Likealike to subscribe to and join their meet-ups.



2\. Background & Problems:

The motivation behind Likealike is every year 50 million people visit the U.S
for a business trip, school, or any other personal matters. Most of them flock
to NYC to chase their dreams and test their mettle.

But for many, the thrill of arrival is often tempered by the sinking
realization of what an alienating place the city can be, especially for those
who do not have a pre-existing network of friends. You may feel the same if
you remember the first year after you came to the city.

Until now, many of us including myself built a network of friends through
events listed on Web sites like Meetup.com. Having used the service, I haven't
had a great experience because of the following reasons:

1) I have to join many groups in order to RSVP different events, hence getting
tons of notifications and emails from all those groups.

2) I don’t have information about who I’m about to meet up with - lack of
credibility among users.

3) There are too many strangers in my groups that I don’t want to share my
meet-ups with.

Apart from those problems, there are many other reasons that makes me design a
better service to serve newcomers or those who want to expand their social
networks.



3\. Likealike Solutions:

Likealike is designed to help users quickly make like-minded friends by
solving the aforementioned problems in the following ways:

* Likealike provides great meet-ups hosted by people who share common interests. So, you can simply follow them in order to subscribe to and join their future meet-ups. This way, you don’t have to join many different groups in order to join different events, solving the problem 1).
* If you host a meet-up, Likealike provides you with a list of like-minded people nearby to invite to your meet-up. All you need to do is to see profile info of those users on the list and invite them to your meet-up, solving the problem 2) by bringing more credibility among users.
* There’s no group in Likealike. So, if you are a host you don’t need to manage many members in your group. Once you schedule a meet-up, your followers receive notifications so they can easily catch up and join your meet-ups, solving 3).



In fact, these solutions are not just off of my head but based on actual user
data and feedback from our beta service. You can take a glance at the upcoming
official version of Likealike at
[www.likealike.net](http://www.likealike.net/).



4\. Traction from Beta & Next Steps

We’re based in South Korea and have remotely done our beta targeting NYC in
the first half of this year, successfully getting +3,000 users, +250 meet-up
hosts and +200 meet-ups. Throughout the beta period, we spoke with our users
and found the areas they are having problems with from existing services. We
put together users feedback and data analyses to come up with better Likealike
solutions thus far - a design prototype and guide for dev are all done with
the Sketch design tool.

With these promising numbers and solutions, we’re in contact with well-known
Korean investors to raise about $500 K at $5 million valuation in order to
move my team to the city and fully try it out. We expect the deal is closing
at the end of the month and will move to the city sometime in December.

Upon our arrival, having $ 40K for marketing in hand right now (more marketing
budget will be added after the deal’s closed), we will be focusing on winning
over great local meet-up hosts to our Likealike platform while continuing to
develop the office version.

Our goals in the first half of 2016 are:

* Serving 30K users
* Making money though ticket sales and premium subscription model via in-app purchase
* Raising series A funding

To achieve these goals, we will rent an apartment in Manhattan, live there
together and enjoy working together day and night. How exciting it will be for
us to change the world together! Trust me on this - we’ve gotta move quickly
to series A to take one step closer to success.
