It's not too much of a social weave to talk to founder Brian Ma on Skype for more than 20 minutes and he told me that I'm going to see someone below. In short, weave is a Tinder version of Linkedin,brian's goal of creating the company is to help people find "valuable people" in 5 minutes.

In the United States, Tinder is really able to make a date with her sister, so Brian wants to use a similar mechanism in the workplace social, with the people who are mainly in the knowledge of LinkedIn, is also based on geographical location, weave designed to pull users to meet for the first time. Although LinkedIn will have strangers wishing to meet you every day, brain thinks the scene is completely different, and that the speed of LinkedIn is considered spam, while weave is a two-way-selection mechanism.

Weave requires users to log in with a LinkedIn account, and natural LinkedIn social data is also an important basis for endorsement of the user's identity, and once the match is successful, the two sides can start chatting and then make an appointment.

Brain told me that weave is now successful online matching more than 1000 users, a return visit of 10000 people, currently 70% of users in the United States, Europe and Asia accounted for a small part. We know the points of point and place of reference in the dialogue, such as "3 o'clock in the afternoon", "So-and-so". GPS information also tells us that these two people are in the same geographic location. However, Brain said they only extracted time and place information. The most used scenes of weave are all kinds of conferences, airports, cafes, etc.

In terms of current industry status, whether it is SF or Beijing, the most need to see people is to create a circle, this is weave first cut this market reason, the first step it is to do the most is to match the user to find the two sides can "help people", it will be based on user behavior history data recommend more suitable people, For example, a user tends to look for social entrepreneurs on the above, the system will recommend such people to him as far as possible, the system will also give priority to active people, the chance to meet people under the line.

Brian also envisions what Apple Watch weave can do when it comes to hand, because Bluetooth positioning is more accurate than GPS, it is likely that the person you want to know is next to you, can seize 1 minutes pitch investment depends on your performance. "As long as we know who you are and who you want to meet, it's possible to have more and more interesting matches, like if you want to see Zuckerberg, someone knows that Zuckerberg's sister is nearby, and you might have talked to Zuckerberg." ”

Brain that they may enter the Chinese market in the year, "after all, LinkedIn is still relatively small in China." "At present, there are not many Chinese local users on the weave, and in this case, I still match a social entrepreneur." Create a circle these needs see the people are not a home, the front has a two-degree network of social networking value of the workplace, recently there is a product that looks very good is called "will", also based on the background of the workplace, users can be published in the "will" directly posted to see people posted, "Want to talk about the operation of social products, such as cafes, 3:00.

Brain, who had just sold his last company before weave, "make a lot of money, want to find some good entrepreneurs to invest, so they do weave this product", in order to quickly invest in a good project and create a good company, it is really cool, the service of their own needs of the product looks more reliable.

There are now 7 people in the team.
