Seems fun. I signed up. However, in Chrome on Ubuntu I couldn't fill out the email form field, and when I logged into my android phone (you'll have an app for that too right?), it wasn't mobile responsive and I had to zoom in and swipe left and right to see the page.

Just FYI.

Thanks! Those are known issues but we'll work on it! We will build an Android version for sure, but it's just one guy right now. :)

Talk about a real social startup. Remembers me about the one that pairs together random groups for a bar meetup.

We really believe that making real social application is indeed possible. We also believe that the recruiting system is broken. This is our first step to jailbreak it!

I think this is a good idea but the more popular you get the more filtering you need. If 1000 hire-ees want to meet for coffee how will the hirer filter them?

Well I guess I like the idea from the hire-ee perspective. But isn't it a bad deal for the hirer? How does he know I'm even worth talking to? The most valuable asset we have is time and you are asking people running companies to give a lot of it away.

Agreed. We're working on a ranking and reputation algorithm that will only show the best Coders for the Startups. We don't want to waste anyone's time, on both sides.
