We’re bringing personality to the internet. Knozen shows you what people like most about you. We use fun, free, social games, in a unique new way, to show people’s personalities, so that you can comment and share, and let people know what you think makes them unique and different. We create a positive, supportive place for discovering and sharing personality. We were named one of the 10 hottest startups to watch this year by BusinessInsider: http://bit.ly/KnozenTop10 The reason why is that we’re building something that’s never been done before -- personality profiles for everybody on the planet using the crowd-sourced opinions of their friends and co-workers. People behave in somewhat predictable patterns. Definitely not algorithmic, but there’s a tendency, an inclination, a habitual recurrence of behavior patterns. We call that “personality”. Instead of using scientifically-suspect, paper-and-pencil guesswork, we’re asking the people that you know directly what they like most about you and where they think you’re stronger. By being clever in how we do it, we’ve created a more accurate, more positive, more relevant, more valid, more applicable, more scalable solution than anything that has ever come before. The end result is a globally scalable network of personality profiles that will be useful for self-improvement and a host of other applications such as dating, career development, marketing, recruiting, technology customization and a lot of things that haven’t even been invented yet. We’re backed by famous names in the New York tech world: FirstMark Capital, Lerer Ventures, David Tisch, and Greycroft.
