altruisto VS learn-with-grok

Hey, I'm Daniel, I've been working on altruisto.com for the last ~3 years. It's an app that lets users donate money to charities while shopping online at no extra cost. The idea is similar to a cashback or a loyalty program. We have 1000+ partner stores including aliexpress, etsy, booking, ebay. The supported charities have been thoroughly review by independent evaluators (GiveWell, Animal Charity Evaluators) to make sure that they make as much positive impact for a dollar as possible. This is a not-for-profit project.

Source code is open and available at github: https://github.com/altruisto/altruisto

The main challange right now is growth.

Looking for someone with great marketing & non-tech executive skills.

I started a project during the lockdown in March and eventually want to launch make it a self-sustaining side project. I recently filed paperwork to form an LLC (my first) in anticipation of launching and perhaps trying my hand at fundraising on Kickstarter or elsewhere.

The project is called Learn with Grok (https://github.com/GrokApp/learn-with-grok) and is a language learning application. Unlike existing applications, Grok is focused on people who have already studied a foreign language for years and are passed beginner level content. Learn with Grok is focused on Critical Reading Skills and will tailor short story content to you at your proficiency level after taking a placement test. The more you read and do well on the quiz at the end of the short story, the more difficult content you can work towards to achieve mastery (or Grok!) a new language. You can hear what sentences sound like and see a translation on the spot if you struggle comprehending a sentence. Challenge yourself with a little content everyday.

This project is pre-launch and my first real try at creating a business. I work full-time and work on this nights and weekends while also balancing a machine learning grad program.
