First, because I get so most spam from job postings, please include the answer to this math problem at the beginning of your response, so i know you read it. 9(7+4)=
WHAT’S OUR 5-10 WORD CONCEPT?
Sports fans make the call and broadcasters are muted
WHAT’S THE STORY & MISSION OF THE COMPANY?
I couldn't take it anymore... talking heads droning on and on during games. So, I decided to make it stop.
Our mission is to let sports fans decide. Fans make the call. Never watch sports the same way again… now there are options.
LetMeHearYa enables user generated sports broadcasting. Fans create live commentary alongside their favorite sporting events on TV. Our system enables anyone to broadcast their own opinions and perspectives to listeners, who can choose to listen to any number of broadcasters, based on their specific entertainment tastes. LetMeHearYa is the perfect "second screen" companion for live sports on TV.
WHAT STAGE IS OUR COMPANY?
We raised a 6-figure seed round to get to market.
We have a functioning alpha product, and our next steps are to build up our consumer audience. We need a top-notch experience and design in order to grow our listener base as fast as possible.
So, your risk/reward is such: a paid short-term project with hopes that we will be a great fit to move forward.
WHAT VOICE WILL THE DESIGNER HAVE IN THE COMPANY?
I have a people philosophy based on three pillars:
1. Hire extraordinary people
2. Compensate them fairly
3. Get the hell out of their way
You will report to me, but your true responsibility is to the users
WHAT ARE 1-3 DESIGN PROBLEMS WE’RE FACING?
1. Simplifying product use
2. Create interactive participation by users
3. Engage and retain early adopters
WHO IS YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE?
Avid sports fans. Blog readers, chat room participants, fantasy sports players, etc.
