What was the problem that Instamour is trying to solve?

“At Instamour, our team has been using dating websites since the late 90’s and the newer mobile apps for years now. We have been carefully testing and diagnosing what the most common problems are. And, we keep finding the same problems over and over again. In a nutshell, they just aren’t personal enough because pictures and text don’t cut it anymore in this world of technology.”

What’s the solution that you came up with?

“Our Mission is to solve the headaches of online dating with new functionality that has until, never been possible before! We’ve made our app available for both android and iOS.”

“Our solution is the world’s first real video relationship platform!
We’ve created a new opportunity to see real personalities by browsing video profiles, engaging in live video chats, virtual phone calls, and instant messaging. We are shifting the paradigm for online dating profiles and experiences.”

What’s your vision for the future of Instamour?

“Well, we’re raising funds right now. So, we are interested in adding on more developers and configuring some persisting issue that are specific to the nature of these new online dating functionalities yield.  We’re also in the process of demoing our products at other spaces and looking to gain as many more users as possible.”

EarthNight Demo w/ Rich Siegel

What was the inspiration behind EarthNight?

My friend Paul and I were playing lots of runner games at the time on iOS, and they all lacked depth.  It was nothing like the kind of depth I had come to expect from great games. So, we set out to make the best runner game of all time! That was almost three years ago now.

Paul’s graphic illustrations and Chipocrite‘s chiptunes are my main sources of inspiration for the game. We wanted to make every single frame of the game look like a living painting, a super graphically deep experience. We want to provide an experience that no other runner has pulled off yet. And, Chipocrite is the best chiptune artist I know, perhaps the best of all time!

What does EarthNight offer that is chiefly unique?

Well, the game is not easy at all. You really have to have fast reaction timing and understand the game’s systems in order to be successful. You cant just start mashing buttons and hope to beat the game. It’s a game of finesse. Once you get a game over, that’s it, you’ll have to restart form the beginning. The game only has two buttons so it’s simple enough for anyone to learn how to play in 10 seconds, but it’ll take a lifetime to master. I hope it’s one of those games that people can play over and over and over again.

What’s next for EarthNight?

Who knows?! We just announced on a couple months ago that EarthNight will be launched on PlayStation 4. I had the opportunity to demo EarthNight at the Sony booth at E3. We also got to demo EarthNight to a ton of people at Technically Phill’s Philly Tech Week. A lot have people have been asking when the release date will be, even my parents, and my answer to them is I have no idea. You cant rush art and I think of this project as a work of art. So, the answer is as long as it takes!

Funnel Optimizer demo at WSL

What is Funnel Optimizer?

Funnel Optimizer is a monthly subscription service to help bloggers provide more value to their audience and sell more of their products by offering subscribers access to new content and discounts, rather than showing them the same subscription forms.

Funnel Optimizer alters what the user sees, based on each individual’s level of involvement.

The current funnel looks like this:
bad-funnel-155e7edb90a3250ccfcbb85a1670cb3f

And, with Funnel Optmizer:
good-funnel-annotated-8fdeed9db5051ca51f302de12ab30b43


Why did you create it?

Six months ago, I released a book called ‘How to Build a Ruby Gem’ that resulted in $16k+ in sales, so far. My Multilevel marketing approach, and a niche target population of ruby developers contributed to my book’s success. But, I also believe that choosing to capture emails on my blog and posting gem-related content regularly seemed like a good way to grow interest, offer subscribers additional incentives like discounts, and ultimately sell more books.

In the process, I observed that my previously subscribed readers to my newsletter STILL saw the same newsletter opt-in form shown above. I thought to myself, ‘Why on Earth would that be helpful to the them?’ It prevented me from offering previously subscribed users to new offers and stifled the opportunity to sell my products.

newsletter-form

Traditionally, the way to solve this pain point was to purchase a fancy marketing automation system and pay potentially 4 figures a month. So, I decided to build a solution that would be more accessible for people like myself. Ideally, what I wanted was to show my first visitor the opt-in form above, and if they signed up, promote my book. It was a choice to consider my viewership by customizing their experience and provide them access to new offerings.


What’s next for Funnel Optimizer?

The next step for Funnel Optimizer is to develop a full payment processing system on my site, FunnelOptimizer.io , So when people sign up they can instantly use it. Im currently operating under a somewhat slower on-boarding approach, and now Im ready to put the power in their hands!

Boxly Demos at WSL #NightOwls

What is Boxly?

“Boxly is an organizational platform allowing you to group related info visually. Boxly allows you to build a mini-app without knowing any programming at all!” 

Why did you create Boxly?

“The idea for Boxly started from my frustration with having to email myself PDFs and important information before upcoming meetings, travel, and  other outings. At the time, I had sent myself over 3000 emails. The existing array of to-do lists and personal information management tools weren’t designed for visually organizing my thoughts. So, I built Boxly.”

unnamedExplain Boxly’s evolution.

“The first version of Boxly was conceived at the Fall 2012 Philly Startup Weekend, winning 3rd place. In my spare time he moved Boxly forward and presented an early version to the Philadelphia community during a Philly Tech Meetup in 2013.

Today, (August 13th) I presented the latest iteration of  Boxly to the Walnut Street Labs community, before submitting it to the app store. This was actually the first time that I’ve shown Boxly’s new functionality to anyone, but it was my third time presenting to the Walnut St Labs community, so I felt pretty at home. I  had the chance to receive some valuable feedback and use-cases.  It was very helpful to get their support and honest advice. The crowd here is so much fun. I really enjoyed it!”
