Fourtay: The Social Learning App for Students

A casual, no commitment platform built for people early in their careers, who want to learn helpful skills and connect.

Our Private Beta is live! You can now be the first to try out Fourtay and give us feedback on how we can make the app even better for you. https://t.co/MjIsyJW1Eg

There's conversation on ownership that is long overdue. What if we could also own our #learning?

What if instead of going to these ivory towers, you could learn what you wanted, when you wanted?

What if we #owned our learning? Just a thought!

#education is in need of a big overhaul. Even though most kids in the United States are back in classrooms this year, they are more disengaged than ever, and would rather sit on their phones than hear about the quadradic formula.

What if we met them where they were? #startups

[email protected]... tap in! If you know me you know I check my email 30 times a day

I'm excited to get on the phone with any and everyone over the next few months to get people hype on Fourtay, which is going to change the game in #edtech #startups. Lets Go!!

[Fourtay: The Social Learning App for Students @getfourtay]

@DelJohnsonVC I have mixed feelings on "building/learning in public", on the one hand it's valuable for startups to get a constant feedback loop, but on the other it can push people to constantly create content, which leads to the environment you just described.

[Fourtay: The Social Learning App for Students @getfourtay]

We're having our first development call for #getfourtay right now, and let me just say... I can't wait until April.

I'm very excited to be getting content creators on here who are already doing great things on their own #newsletter's and the #edtech space.

[Fourtay: The Social Learning App for Students @getfourtay]

Education is flawed in so many ways, one of them being that we expect kids to sit through lectures that are often 60+ minutes, with no interruptions.

What if a student could instead learn the same thing in four minute, bite-sized episodes, and learn at their own pace? 🤔

Last night, I posted on LinkedIn looking for people who want to write $1-2K angel checks into really early future of work + learning deals. So far:

23 responses.

Only 3 women.

That's 13%.

At least half of my contacts are women.

✍️💵 Ladies, we can write checks too! ✍️💵

@ProductHunt Chief non-technical... what are y'all talking about again officer

"This decade is for the rest of us"

[Fourtay: The Social Learning App for Students @getfourtay]

This is big, @Backstage_Cap and @joinrepublic are democratizing Venture Capital and allowing for the rest of us to make early stage investments in the next big thing.

The 2010's featured massive growth, but it wasn't open for everyone. This decade is for the rest of us.

Now just imagine if you could learn what you need from both a sociology degree or the stock market, four minutes at a time? That's what we're building here.

[Fourtay: The Social Learning App for Students @getfourtay]

@CJ_250marketing This is incredibly helpful! I'm wondering if much of the same would apply to start-ups, or if it's better for a personal twitter account.

[Fourtay: The Social Learning App for Students @getfourtay]

@Jason Likely above 100k, maybe 150k if we take gaming apps out of the equation.

Since Fourtay isn't out yet and we can't show you what's been happening with $GME, this funny video should catch you up to speed

The world is dealing with misinformation now more than ever.

Imagine if someone could go to an app and learn everything they needed to know about the COVID vaccine or re-openings in their state... all in four minutes?

That's what we're building @getfourtay

How will Twitter Spaces compete with @joinClubhouse? We've seen the importance of community building and the value it can have on making small apps big, but what about when Twitter swoops into that same community?

[Gary Vaynerchuk @garyvee]

Wait ... twitter has a clubhouse competitor ?

[Fourtay: The Social Learning App for Students @getfourtay]

The first thing I do when I get up every morning is check twitter to see if the world is ending (to be fair, a lot of days I'm not too far off).

At @getfourtay, we think it'd be much better to start your day saying "what do I want to learn today?". Just a thought.

[Fourtay: The Social Learning App for Students @getfourtay]

@NicoAFerr We're Fourtay, https://t.co/5swJdVSdrf

An app that lets you learn anything from anyone at anytime at any place and any format you learn best in (video, audio or text-article)... all in 4 minutes or less!

We're currently in pre-seed!

[Fourtay: The Social Learning App for Students @getfourtay]

I'll know that @getfourtay has made it when someone can write a clear four minute article on what crypto actually is.

I think I'll be waiting a while. Until then, this article from @JamesSurowiecki describes how bitcoin has played out over time:
