Private Equity
I plan on launching big, in all major languages, Mandarin, Spanish, English, Hindi, Arabic and Romanian, my native language. I'm seeking co-founders, natives in each language, with a common interest in psychology with good local links. I plan on keeping my technical cofounder close to me. Basically I'm building a new type of analytics platform ;)
