  I had a brilliant idea for a app during college. It connected self-identified lonely nerds with other self-identified lonely nerds. Like “Oh you like anime, here is this other guy, and here are five events you can attend together.” I was hoping for that Zuckerberg money if this app was a hit.

  I ran it through a test trial with a dozen pairings of them in my college campus to see if it had value.

  And yeah, a lot of the feedback was that the other person was kind of annoying/intolerable. Which was funny when both of them said that about each other.

      Accurate. I found my idea was just recreating reddit mod meetups.
