Operations Assistant

Started a mobile app with the goal of helping college student find events according to their preferences in a very efficient and simple way. Students tend to struggle with finding events that they are looking for, which this app intends to solve.

Despite recruiting a strong team of ambassadors in 8 different universities and a simple MVP using Snapchat that amassed an outstanding 3,500+ followers, the project failed due to development issues and bugs in the app.

Learnings:
- Define roles and set expectations early on.
- Hire people who are intrinsically motivated and aligned with the mission.
- Don't scale until all operations are in place.
- Don't create a dependance on an outsourced developer.
- Don't waste time on things that don't matter or add value.
