Problem the startup solves:
We all want better photos of ourselves, and they are often taken by others. But media sharing is a pain, with thousands of platforms, they all require invites, emails, albums and a complicated process. Hink solves this. High resolution photos and videos, shared in a single click. No albums needed, no invites, no messaging. You don’t even need to know each other. A perfect platform for events and sports, where everyone crowdsources the content enabling a better experience for participants, spectators and sponsors.
Progress and Current Status:
Launched MVP on iOS, android and web early 2023. Used as photo sharing platform for a running race in January, and two more planned in April and May.
What is an Inspiring Story about the Startup?:
As soon as someone hears there is a photo of them in the app, they download the app immediately. And every user we have spoken to say they love the app. However, in general, it is too early for us as we only launched a few months ago and don’t have any life saving stories yet! But we can see so many use cases and potential situations so follow us!
What is a Company the Startup Looks Up to, and Why?:
Big fan of two-sided marketplaces and networks such as twitter, airbnb, social media platforms in general, but the company we most look up to is Apple. How they constantly evolve, bring new products, at a very profitable scale. Being UX and design driven, we hope we can mimic that in a small part of people’s lives.
The Company in Four Years Will Be…
We will be the media sharing platform. Hink is the seamless sharing experience combined with massive network effects. We have provided billions of photos and videos to the people who are in them, and we have provided millions of dollars in revenue to the photographers and content creators who took them.
