Is it only for biological women? Can someone who identifies as a woman use this platform? I don't see any information on the site. Does this platform foster inclusiveness or exclusiveness?

#15Hey, good work I think to have everything in one place is better. I saw it’s not your first startup you built another app before (citysocializer). Two questions: How many members do you have on Shello and do you think your crowdsourced advices could be available on the web soon or you plan to keep them in a private sphere?

#16Looks cool. It is all forum based advice or can you message privately?

#18Nice Work! Where did you get your first users? Does the platform cater for non-english speakers?

#20I don't get it, what problem is this app solving by excluding men from giving or asking for advice as well?
Hey blueadept11, women have very different experiences and challenges to men when it comes to most aspects of their lives, from careers, to body matters and relationships. So the advice we look for and share is often only relevant to other women. The way we talk in person with other women can be different to how we talk in public, much more personal way. So Shello aims to be bring that intimacy and freedom to talk an…
But I'm in a good mood, so I'll only say that there's nothing intimate about an environment where everyone is anonymous.
