There are inefficiencies in the investment banking world where marketing materials and other pitch deck materials is too manual. We have highly compensated individuals perfecting PowerPoints but too many of the slide creation companies are not relevant for what bankers do. Would love to create something and have ideas on how to make it work but limited tech experience.

I'm interested in niche product opportunities like this. I'm a product designer and web developer. If interested in chatting you can find contact info in my profile.

I'm building a new task manager. I'm aiming it to be like HEY of email apps - Kinda opinionated, but hopefully fits workflow for a lot of people. https://focustask.app Building this in my free time, and would love to talk to anyone who might be interesting in helping with either coding or with marketing. My email is vojto at focustask.app

Very cool. I am a dev and interested in collaborating. What's the tech stack like? How do I get in touch?

Whelp, I'm about to break the first rule of TAPBE. Imagine an Earth where all interactions / relationships are voluntary, with a societal structure that's resilient to everything from solar flares to the rise of oppressive governments. I dunno what that would really look like. But I'd like to explore gift economies, time banking, and brainstorm the strategies and games that could enable a more equitable Earth. As for…

> TAPBE ?

I'm considering to set up a company to design vaccines and immunotherapies which are more efficient. The idea is that current vaccine vectors are great, but choice of antigens and adjuvants is too simplistic. It'd be a complement to Moderna, and all other market incumbents like GSK or Sanofi.

Currently based in Cambridge but, paradoxically, having trouble to find good partners. I have previously worked in Oxford and developed methods which are used and cited by other patents in the field. I also have generated some validation data in vivo. All these things should greatly facilitate raising VC.

I'm looking for very ambitious CS, statistics and bio backgrounds to work with me as cofounders. Contact details on profile. The company doesn't need to be based in the UK.

My name is Naren Keshav. I’ve built a product & built the legal structure for the company. It is a Canadian Incorporated startup. The product is iOS application with potential for scale & ride the next s-curve. On the face value, it is an augmented reality product.

## About me

I’m passionate in what I do. With Master’s in Computer Video Games, I’ve worked in domains that would use three-dimensional geometry such AR, VR, Intel RealSense etc.

| Company Webpage | https://www.mani.ai/ | | --- | --- | | Social Proof | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27365797 | | On our future | https://narenkeshav.com/essays/mani-future | | Personal Webpage | https://narenkeshav.com/ | | More about me | https://narenkeshav.com/about |

Moving forward, the company would need a two-pronged approach. The company requires a technical & business-oriented team.

### Business oriented

Person who is passionate with a new product introduction & figure GTM strategy with the understanding of technical roadmap of the product.

### Technical oriented

The product uses live sensors, camera & GPS to provide the value. Currently, it is built on top of Unity game engine. Person who is passionate with machine learning on mobile is preferred.

### Investment

So far, I have deferred investment to have a solid product, product messaging & a team. Once the initial team is in place, with the team - we will have to build a roadmap & subsequently a pitch deck. I have built channel(s) to have us introduced to VC’s.

### Finally

I am also looking for people who might be interested in working on this product & in-turn with the company. This is a startup & I find responsible to set a direction. It does not mean that I am right. The team always wins. I would love to find a mentor/advisor with B2C experience. If you know anyone who might be interested, please share my email address nkeshav@mani.team

Let’s build the future.

I've been interested in conversational bots and how they might be used for purposes that are more fun than customer service. I'm specifically interested in ideas that are silly, or emotionally salient, or weird, or anything that's not productive and not commercial. I have been poking around with some stuff, but mostly just ideas in my head. So for "collaboration" I mostly imagine getting ideas from each other, trying…

GPT-3 does a lot of this very well, albeit expensively.

Sample scenario: A woman discovers her husband's infidelity and struggles to hide her anger when he asks for a stack of pancakes.

Output:

    She said, "It can't be done. We're out of flour and eggs."
    He asked, "No powdered eggs?"
    She said, "We're out of everything."
    He said, "I was hoping you might have some pancake mix in the pantry."
    She replied, "It's so dark in there, I couldn't see anything if I tried. Why don't you go to the store?"
    He said, "In this weather? It's snowing like crazy outside."
    She said, "Weren't you up half the night playing cards with your friends? And staying up half the night is what got us into this mess in the first place."
Anyway, love to chat on this kind of thing. Email is on my profile.

I am working on something involving algorithmic trading - nothing too fancy, just modifying positions based on indicators. I would love to collaborate with someone with a quant/algo background.

I don't have a quant/algo trading background. My only experience in this area is from several years ago when I dabbled with QuantConnect (IIRC, at that time they didn't have option price history).

However, I have always wondered if one could use stock price history and option price history to do the following:

1. Select an underlying asset (or small set of underlying assets) to focus on

2. Select a simple strategy over the underlying asset such as BUY CALL + BUY PUT at the same price, same expiry date, holding the position until a threshold gain is attained and then liquidating the position.

Of course, you would lose the cost of the CALL + PUT if the position expires without hitting the threshold gain. But part of the algorithm's parameter choice would be to determine the threshold gain% for a specific underlying asset and selecting an underlying asset with a very high probability of exceeding the threshold gain% and thereby a very high probability of positive return on investment.

Arguably, one could train a neural network to do Threshold gain% estimation for an asset based on asset price history and option price history and automate the order placements (both for buy and sell).

For the end-user, the only input they would provide is the investment amount and a target ROI and the system could show a preview of all orders using this strategy that would meet their criteria and execute them at a click of a button (and where permitted, execute them automatically).

I'm writing a FHIR server in NodeJS. The currently widely used FHIR server is a JAVA based monolith called HAPI FHIR. I haven't seen many alternatives to FHIR server other than HAPI FHIR. It's a super challenging project and I'm not even sure I can pull it off. Feel free to collaborate - https://github.com/rukshn/aurora

There is also a managed service from MS Azure that some of the large insurance/healthcare companies in the US use. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/healthcare-apis/azure...

I'm in a volunteer role as CIO for a nonprofit focused on human trafficking, and we're building a new investigations and case-management platform using Svelte/TypeScript/SvelteStrap, Rust/Rocket, and Postgres (and likely Neo4j at some point) because the options out there are either poor or very expensive. Once we have something working and solid, we're going to open-source it and provide it to other groups in similar…

I’m a Technical PM with a lot of program management experience and I want to contribute. Hit me up if you need anyone with soft (not engineering) skills. My email in my profile.
