2015 - 2017

  • Founder

    2015 - 2017

    Built a team of 8 engineers and salespeople. Hynt solves the problem of low user-engagement on social content for brands, influencers, and consumers alike, by adding an 'anticipation / puzzle layer' to social sharing. The app incorporates innovative image/video manipulation techniques and game mechanics into the act of creating, sharing, and engaging with photos/videos. Users can take a photo/video, automatically turn it into a puzzle (i.e. scramble it + set conditions for its reveal over time), share with friends/fans/audiences for them to unlock it, and repeat. Each hynt is essentially a delayed-release capsule of content, teasing out the ‘reveal’ and piquing an innate sense of curiosity to unravel it. The underlying objective is to increase a photo/video’s shelf-life and depth of audiences’ participation over time.
