EP. 56: Bunches co-founder Tomer Ben-David, how do you create an innovative messaging app?
Tomer Ben-David is an entrepreneur and startup founder who has worked on apps spanning from fintech to crypto to social media. Tomer grew up in Chicago before attending college at NYU Gallatin. After his freshman year, Tomer dropped out to start his first company Exeq- a personal finance company that set out to help millennials spend better and was acquired in 2019. Tomer is now building Bunches - an app for creators to easily start paid group chats about anything.
In this episode of How Do You Do? Podcast, Ben asks Tomer about how he is inspired by the opportunity to develop an app where creators can build communities consisting of “Internet friends” (2:40); how he and his co-founders decide what conventions they want to experiment with, including a stylized version of the “@“ and “$” symbols on the app (14:00); his tech predictions of asynchronous social and closed, opt-in communities that encourage dialogue (i.e. Clubhouse) rather than announcements (i.e. Twitter) (24:30), and more!
