Venture Pill E47: Interview with Alexander Pacheco, Founder and CEO of 150
On this week’s dose, we have Alexander Pacheco, CEO and Founder of 150, a social media app looking to reimagine the way we interact with our friends online, or as he deems it, a small town with just your friends. Alexander was fed up with existing social media and realized that there must be a more authentic way of connecting with friends while still being able to meet new people. By harnessing the concept of Dunbar’s number, 150, the number of friendships a human can maintain at one time, he launched an app where you can connect with your 150, and the friends of those 150, making a total of about 10-15k in your network. The app is free to use for your first year and then charges a $2/month subscription. No ads, no influencers, no strangers, no brands. Tune in to hear more about Alexander’s journey building the app, the challenges he’s faced thus far, and the roadmap looking ahead. He also gives some unique advice and perspective on networking and becoming a founder.
