Ask HN: What's your secret for creating network effects?
We wanted to scratch our own itch, and the itch of every tech entrepreneur and developer out there: Connecting to the best employees/employers. Why get stuck with just your personal network?
So, we quit our jobs and built RightJoin.io, a SaaS for "peer-to-peer" recruiting. It lets engineers learn about other companies directly from the engineers who are already there. An enjoyable recruiter-free experience for everyone!
Two weeks into the pilot, it's going well -- employers are interested. But the puzzle isn't solved until a critical mass of engineers comes in.
So here is the question, how do you build network effects? It's everyone's million-dollar question, so any thoughts, ideas, tips, sarcasm, and condescending smiles are very welcome.
