Show HN: Killed our 6-month old photo startup, and this came out of it

My co-founder and I saved up enough money to quit our jobs 6 months ago and go full-time. We began working on, while bootstrapping, a photo sharing startup. Unfortunately, after many iterations, it wasn't working well enough and we decided to kill it.

However, through that process, we conducted a lot of user tests and interviews, and realized that finding users to test is a pretty hard problem.

That's why we made Gemba, Japanese for "the real place", which is a service that connects companies to testers on demand for in-person interviews.

Would love your feedback!
