If applicable, what is your growth like? And what milestones has your startup achieved so far?:

Milestones:

Our app is at ver 0.8. User are now able to view a list of restaurants discovered everyday, click-through to view details and recommendations by other users. In addition, users are also able and encouraged to save and recommend restaurants along with the menu items.

Growth:

We’ve just started submitting invite to our beta test program as of now. So far, we’ve been able to acquire a dozen or so users that are primarily friends & family.

Why did you choose this particular idea and concept to build your start-up on?:

My mission in building this app is to help people form their own understanding & perspective of ethnicities around the world.

By chatting with friends & families, it appears the concept of helping people discover ethnic restaurants around them has resonated.

This was further validated through numerous personal conversations I had in person.

Do you have any customer feedback on your product and/or service that you could share?:

Current feedback has been qualitative through conversation with friends & family.

I would like to take this the next step by greater user acquisition effort, and to start gathering qualitative data through app usage and surveys.

Data will be gathered through:

User behavior such as new discoveries, save, recommendation, and in-store visits.
User will receive a survey 7 days after signing up to the program (https://survey.io/survey/5e946)

Are you looking for funding or are you open to partnership opportunities, and if so, what’s the best way for people to get in contact with you?:

I am currently actively looking for partners to help scale this idea.
The best way is to reach me by email: alex@mei.codes
I will be seeking funding late summer, early fall depending on user growth.
