News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Hi Hacker News,

I'm Tanise, a software engineer who's recently taken the entrepreneurial leap to address a challenge I've noticed in the tech world: the need for more engaging and meaningful remote team interactions.

I've launched We Talk Tech, a company offering virtual team-building activities designed with tech teams in mind. My aim is to transform routine Zoom calls into team bonding sessions that foster camaraderie and collaboration.

I would love your input:

What do you think of the business idea? Does it address a genuine need you perceive in remote workspaces?

Feedback on the website would be invaluable: https://wetalktechstudio.com/

Any insights or suggestions for reaching my target audience effectively?

And, if you're leading a remote team and this piques your interest, I’d be thrilled if you considered booking a 15-minute demo to experience what we offer. https://calendly.com/wetalktech/15min

Your honest feedback and advice would be a huge help.

Thank you for your time!

Have you tried looking? There are plenty of programs encouraging women to go into non-traditional jobs.
Re:In Brooklyn, Uber is now bigger than taxis on Monday September 26, 2016 @10:34AM (#12582127)
As someone who lived in Manhattan and just moved to Brooklyn, I can totally see why Uber is more popular than taxis.

For one it usually costs less. And two, depending on where you live there is no guarantee a taxi is around the corner. Uber is more convenient.

He just stated that he will be selecting based on merit. Other requirements will not necessarily negate that.

I'm not a founder, but I am a minority/female developer in New York. I have a couple of ideas for web apps, but I don't know the first thing about business. Anyway, if I could be of any assistance feel free to let me know. www.tanwill.nyc

Good luck to you!
