4: The fine line between a neat idea and a HUGE idea // Matt Zeitlin

Neat idea: Chess club administrators struggle to keep tabs on 10 kids at once. They could use some help from software.


HUGE idea: There is a chess club at every school in the country. Only a tiny % of those teams play against other schools. It would be like if basketball teams never played against other schools, and all they did was practice. And if the players wanted to play against someone different, their only option was to go to the Y and play pickup with 35 year old men. There is a massive amount of pent up competitiveness living in every high school in the country, waiting to be unleashed.


Matt has a quintessential Flank use case (his co-founder needs to run a script but Matt is the gatekeeper). We talked Matt about it, and he also had interesting thoughts on the chess landscape, the current state of Flank, and what makes Rookly hard to build.
