Show HN: Anyone want to create a transcript of this video with me? I've been working on a crowd-sourced transcription bot that operates on the Facebook Messenger platform. The end result is something like this: https://presentio.us/t/bbc666

Edit: Send me an e-mail and I can tell you how to participate: transcripts@presentio.us


Enjoyed the conversation, very articulate and thoughtful. I think the reason that start-ups don't like talking to customers can be summed up to the famous line from Henry Ford: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.”

The same goes for Steve Jobs: “It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.”

One question that I have for Daniel Gross is: Could you have build your start-up in Israel?


Thanks to everyone that submitted questions!
