So I've scoured the internet for solving this problem and it seems there are many sort of solutions but mostly for b2b or a few multi-sided platforms. I've also seen some talk where Paul Graham talks about it but it was mainly in his "office hours" series where there wasn't enough time to address the problem.<p>So here's my problem. I'm launching a social travel planning website (Live My Journey) to help users discover things to do at their destination and plan and organize their trip.<p>One of the main components is this feature called Favorite Travel Moments, where users submit their favorite travel experiences of places they've been to or currently live. Now a user can search for a location and see things people have submitted to say "Oh yeah! That sounds like a cool thing to do".<p>So when I initially launch, how do I solve having barely any data because there aren't enough users? I'm going to be going into Beta first but I am trying to find out what else I can do to solve the "chicken and egg" problem?<p>I'm also looking for a tech co-founder in case you or anyone you know are interested. :)<p>- Amit
