Two weeks ago, my friend and I quit our day jobs as highly paid SEO consultants back in Norway, sold our apartments, broke up with our girlfriends and jumped on a plane to Silicon Valley. We're part of a small team building something really great; a competitor to Pinterest in the online shopping space, centered around crowd sourced lists.<p>For the next month, we're in Silicon Valley trying to promote our product, especially setting up some VC meetings. We've been an active part of the HN community for a while, and figured that some of you guys might have some advice or connections to help us make it happen.<p>We have a lot to learn about business culture, Silicon Valley and doing stuff the right way; but we try to make up for that in terms of passion, a deep understanding of how the web works (especially search engine optimization) and ambition.<p>Do you know a VC or angel interested in the online shopping space? If so, we'd love to hear from you. My private email is eric@listnerd.com. (In return, we'd love to help you out with your SEO strategy; including setting up a logical link hierarchy, white hat PageRank sculpting, link building, etc.)<p>Our early stage and unfinished pitch deck is available for download here:
