I am working on Learn Anything. It’s an open source website with the goal of providing most efficient learning paths. A kind of Netflix for learning. If humanity really solves personalized learning by crafting learning paths based on all of Internet’s resources, user’s current knowledge and learning preference, I believe something akin to singularity may be reached. So I am trying to build the website that tries to r…

I have been kicking around a vastly different idea with the end-goal of making education more efficient. Yours is eminently more practical however :) Glad to see this.

I'm co-founder of Root Health. We empower patients with empathetic support and next best actions to ease the burden of clinical trials.

It matters because there are very few people actually focusing on the patient experience in clinical trials. Most companies building solutions in this space see patients as the barrier to data instead of the reason why trials exist.

We are FreeWill ( http://freewill.com/ ). We may be the most efficient fundraising tool for charity ever made. We provide free wills to people, and make it very easy to donate charitably in that process. We've raised over $190M for charities in just over a year! At the same time, we've made legal services more accessible by providing free estate planning to over 17,000 people. Just had a feature in the New York Times…

Full disclosure, I know this company (we went to the same school), but wanted to say congrats!

I don't think people have to say "full disclosure" every time they know someone/something more intimately than others. Are you taking a stance on something where your prior connections and involvement matters?

I run ContentFly ( http://contentfly.co ). Our ultimate mission is to democratize marketing so any and every small business on Earth can use it.

So no democracy for the writer that gets paid flat fee?

We'll probably let the price hang eventually, but an open market would actually result in the writers getting paid less.

Our biggest competitor pays writers 0.7c/word lol
