Startup Idea 2: Matrimony Matchmaking

What started as an Instagram-inspired social experiment has turned into a startup idea. (Refer: Men https://grapevine.in/post/808462ef-8ae0-4269-aaa3-c683ba1194bb and women https://grapevine.in/post/6bcaeffa-0cac-44a2-98a5-fc7a14786e85 survey) Few observations: 1. Our generation has moved on from orthodox thinking (baring few people) to more emotional compatibility 2. Men have more worldly expectations, while women seek spiritual features; none are right/wrong as long as they find each other. 3. Very glad that no one 'expected' the partner to take up gendered roles as dictated by society So, coming to the matchmaking platform. The idea is to have all aspects of life considered - personality, profession, family, demographics, physical attributes, etc. and have a weighted scale against them. Though I have my doubts here 1. An Introvert will need an extrovert to seek them but will be drained of social battery later. How do they match? 2. Physical attributes pull down people who aren't confident with their looks; that doesn't relate to how good/bad they are as partners. But without pictures, it will be a risky surprise element. 3. Prevent parents from creating accounts on children's behalf. Probably a social media log-in Share your thoughts on the compatibility algorithm and the problems we may face. P.S. I am not a techie, will need someone to actually build this. Will take care of marketing. Let's help someone find their soulmate ❤️ P.P.S. If this takes off, I will change my username to TimaSaparia

Deadlock Hits New Milestone with Over 100,000 Concurrent Players

- Valve's new game **Deadlock** has surpassed 100,000 concurrent players for the first time. - Despite being invite-only, the game has proven incredibly popular since its formal reveal last week. - **Deadlock** combines shooting mechanics with MOBA elements, appealing to a wide range of competitive gamers. - The game is still in an invite-only phase, meaning many players are eager but unable to join. - This milestone highlights the game's potential to attract even more players once it becomes widely available.

Should I quit without a job in hand

Hi folks, I'm 23 (24 in Feb). Currently in an economic consulting firm as a Program Manager for last 18 months. Before that had 1 year experience in Founder's office of a Fintech startup. I left my previous job because of the toxic culture, and joined the current job because economics was the only thing I knew apart from what I was initially doing back then and I just wanted to get out (current company is actually a firm that facilitates research and data initiatives for economic research centres and banks). I've hit a ceiling in my current role because most people here usually go ahead for a PhD or Masters abroad and I've realised in last 1.5 years that a full fledged academic career isn't for me and parts of what I enjoy working in this job (data, elements of stakeholde management, figuring things out and solving problems) are similar to what I did previously. Apart from that, in current job people usually stay around for 2 years or so and move ahead for further opportunities or PhD. So there's no real monetary or positional growth i can get here either. Although, it is for some reason quite tough to switch back to another startup directly and I was wondering if staying in this job too long would skew my profile even further away from the business/product profile i initially had I'm not in a money crunch but leaving without any job in hand feels very scary as I've not done this before Any thoughts or suggestions on how to approach this would really help. Happy to give more context if needed
