    Hey guys,

    Long time lurker (eg. the alley oop to Cato was a staple of our offense), first-ish time poster. I need a little help, with my job in a way that could be fun for some of you who like startups and innovative projects.

    I recently became the Product Manager for The Monkey Inferno. The Inferno is an idea lab based in SF. Our mission is quite simple, dream up innovative internet businesses then build them into existence.

    We were started by Michael Birch, the former founder of Bebo.com (sold to AOL in the dot com heyday for a cool $850M). We come up with ideas, work on 4-5 startups at once, and launch the ones that make it through the inferno process every 6 weeks.

    Our biggest challenge is to build things that people actually want to use...That's where you guys come in.

    We are looking for people who want to give feedback on new ideas, and test early prototypes that we come up with. Normally this would be no problem, but I just moved to the bay area a few weeks ago and don't know many people locally.

    The product I want help with is related to the sports watching experience... a space you guys know a lot about! We have other ideas related to dating, music, and productivity, but I assume that sports is the best fit to reach out to Clutchfans about.

    Your help would entail answering questions over a skype call, and then testing our early prototype in a couple of weeks.

    Please let me know if anybody is interested in giving some feedback on our concept, and helping us refine the product so that it's something you'd love to use.

    cheers!

    Disclaimer: Our product will definitely make watching sports more fun, but may or may not still result in the rockets having the 14th pick next year.
