Social accounts:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

We could do this the old way, but we prefer the new way! \u00a0With Spectrums, one URL will link you to all of our social media. \u00a0So we\u2019ve included our Spectrums URL, but, as not to confuse, we\u2019ve also included our individual accounts, hyperlinked as requested:<\/span><\/p>\n

What are you working on? How did you come up with this idea?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ashkan Kouchak:<\/b> We\u2019re working on an app called Spectrums, available on iOS and Android. \u00a0It\u2019s a simpler way to connect with your friends and fans, by allowing you to consolidate your social footprint. \u00a0Instead of making a new social platform, we\u2019re bringing all social platforms together in one place. Making it easier for individuals and brands to be discovered and engage with one another across these platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was noticing how many different handles and names people have for social media accounts. \u00a0Even just connecting up with all of my friends or new connections, I always found it hard because everyone is everywhere and under <\/span>various names or different handles<\/span>. \u00a0And I have always been interested in numbers, in astrology, in how certain numbers hold special meanings for people\u2026and then I thought, what if everyone just had a number associated with them? \u00a0Numbers are unique, so you wouldn\u2019t have the issue of someone trying to set up a copycat account (with the same number). \u00a0You can make it so you only allow each person or business to have one number, and that can cut down on spam accounts considerably.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kaveh Kavoosi:<\/b> It\u2019s one of the reasons we\u2019re focusing on authentication of individual accounts via your mobile phone number. \u00a0It\u2019s one more way to ensure that one person, one number philosophy that underlies the app.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s your dream with your company?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kaveh \u00a0Kavoosi:<\/b> Our dream is to be the Google of people. \u00a0If you want to find out where your favourite people and celebrities are online, you\u2019ll be able to search them on Spectrums and find their entire social footprint (their Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, YouTube, etc\u2026even websites or blogs) in one click.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you creatively advertise?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We\u2019re going directly to influencers that we think will best benefit from Spectrums early on. \u00a0We\u2019re showing them how they can grow audience numbers across their various social accounts with platforms and offering premium Spectrums IDs for early adopters. (note: everyone on Spectrums is assigned a number instead of creating their own handle. \u00a0Each number is unique, but smaller numbers hold more value as they are easier to remember. \u00a0We\u2019re offering early adopters smaller Spectrums IDs in exchange for letting them try out our app\u2026and hopefully spreading the word).<\/span><\/p>\n

Why consolidate your social footprint into one place with Spectrums?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
