All fair. Thanks for engaging seriously.

Seeding supply is the cold start problem that kills 90% of marketplaces. I'm not solving it with growth hacks. I'm solving it with my phone. People I know who've navigated hard things and want to give back. People who have gone through the rigors of private adoptions, experts in technology for the elderly, NYC teachers, etc.

Filtering scammers: the 100% nonprofit model is hopefully the filter. Grifters don't show up to platforms where they can't grift. It's like putting a salad bar in a casino, haha.

Expert-to-expert swaps? Love the idea. Hopefully I can build up to that once there's some activity here.

I'm building small, curated, and slow on purpose. Will it work? No idea. But the downside of trying is near zero.

Really appreciate the comment!
