Apply HN: Get Discovered with IMe

It looks as if IMe depends on local network effects. It seems that it's growth might draw some lessons from the early days of Facebook.

What geographic areas will be targeted first?

What skills will be targeted first?

How will it acquire sufficient users in early markets?

Thank you for your response. Could you please provide some specific lessons from Facebook? Just so that we can prepare outself.

We are targeting high school players for our initial traction. The professional and scouts packages are very much dependent of data being available so we need to start building our user base.

We will start with reaching out to high schools from small towns rather than cities due to the availability of public parks.

We envision this to be the linkedin for athletes and other talented people where talents are connected with other talents as well as scouts and recruiters

Facebook started with a small highly localized target demographic.
