[Max Palmer]: But we’d love to start just hearing about your company, how you heard about us, and why you’re interested in Megaphone. [Maciek Laskus]: I think I saw it in one of those indie pages a while back, and I thought it was an interesting idea. I have a Twitter user, and we’re launching a new product now. So I’m actually, I want to announce it on Twitter, and I’ve been thinking about trying out, I signed up like a month ago, but then we postponed the announcement. So now we’ll probably be doing this next week. And I was thinking about testing with you. [Max Palmer]: Yeah, that’s the reason. Awesome. So you said you had already signed up. So you know how it works, I assume. [Maciek Laskus]: So I paid for one month. So logged into the dashboard. I think I deposited some money, but I never posted anything. And something that I was, I wanted to understand is like, so I have a specific audience in mind, right? I don’t want to just get like a bunch of like, and this was something that it was unclear to me. I saw an email from you guys that you launched a new dashboard. So I haven’t seen it. Maybe it’s different now, but it was unclear to me, like what’s going to be the audience of the people that I would post it to. [Max Palmer]: Yeah. So when you onboarded, you picked three categories, correct? [Maciek Laskus]: Okay, I’m blank. Yeah, there was something like this, I guess. It’s been a month, so I don’t really remember. Maybe if you can screen share or show me the current dashboard, that would be probably helpful. [Max Palmer]: So I can’t do that, actually. I don’t have access to it. But you should be able to see it when you sign on. And then whichever three categories you picked, creators from those categories, that’s who we’re going to send your post to. Okay. But how, how do I know that they have audiences in those categories? [Maciek Laskus]: Because we put them in that, in that category. [Max Palmer]: But, but based on what? Based on, on what their audience is like and what they post about. Okay. [Maciek Laskus]: So, but how, so I’m trying to, how do you know what their Like, do you guys analyze this somehow? [Max Palmer]: Oh, yeah. Yeah. We look at every single creator that we onboard. We make sure that they don’t have fake followers. We make sure they’re real. We have a minimum requirement of 20,000 followers. And then we scroll through their posts and check their presence online to make sure it’s legitimate. And then we apply different categories to them that are relevant. [Maciek Laskus]: check who the followers are and like what topics they’re in or like what was the audience is broken down into? [Max Palmer]: I’m not sure if there’s a way to do that. [Maciek Laskus]: But no. [UNKNOWN_SPEAKER]: Yes. [Max Palmer]: OK. Yeah. I mean, we just analyze the followers and the engagement to make sure that the followers are real, their engagement is real. [UNKNOWN_SPEAKER]: OK. [Maciek Laskus]: So part of the reason I wanted to speak to you is you say Max So have you seen this project before? [UNKNOWN_SPEAKER]: I have not. [Maciek Laskus]: So this is what I used to be working on before we sort of put this project in pause, but we analyzed basically all of Twitter social graph and we built a community detection model that was able to find different communities. So here’s an example of machine learning community, which I’m actually interested in for the launch of this new product. So we indexed 40, 50 million accounts. We indexed regularly, and we indexed 350 million altogether. And we analyzed their social graphs. So who follows whom, and we figured out who these accounts are and how influential they are in different groups. So I was hoping that you guys are doing something like that so I could pick, OK, I’m interested in accounts that are followed by, you know, founders or like AI people and so on. [Max Palmer]: Yeah, so, I mean, I don’t think it has the capability. Basically, how it works is you’ve picked three categories, you know, and then we’ll allocate your posts to creators that are talking about, posting about those categories. And then those creators will engage with you, and it will amplify your posts in the algorithm. That’s how it works in a nutshell. So other than that, there’s nothing else you can do to try to get a more granular creator to interview. [Maciek Laskus]: So we actually have the data to analyze that, what I shared with you. [Max Palmer]: So I can send this to Hauk and see what he thinks, or you can email it to him directly. [Maciek Laskus]: Yeah, I can. Well, I can do. Yeah, I can. I can also do that. And I think it would be helpful for me to speak to him directly, because I’m also willing to pay way more for posts from accounts or for retweets from accounts. I know that they have high quality audience I’m looking for. Right. Right. Because I can pay more than 10 bucks for every tweet if I know that, OK, this person is followed by a bunch of investors I want to reach. [Max Palmer]: Right. Yeah, I agree. So I can send this over to Hauk and then I can let him know that you’ll be reaching out. I’m not sure if he’ll want to meet. He has me do these meetings just because his time is so scarce with a bunch of our different projects, but I can send this to him and let him know. [Maciek Laskus]: Yeah, that makes sense. I will write a short email and let’s see where we can take this from there. [UNKNOWN_SPEAKER]: Absolutely. [Maciek Laskus]: All right. Awesome. All right.
