Startup Pitch

Hey folks, I’m Aswin co-founder of Tazker AI (YC W22), a global microtasking solution with 1.5 million workers in Indonesia. Previously I founded another startup and scaled it into $20m ARR.

I’m here to help if you need to reliably outsource human tasks for data labeling, operations support, and human-in-the-loop systems. We have helped dozens of companies save 80%+ of their operational cost by utilizing our cheap rate ($2-5/person/hour).

Would love the opportunities to explore collaboration as you see fit. Let’s talk!

Introducing New Project: "Chelee" on Vietnam Coin Market Community

Cheelee is a short video platform where users can “watch”, “play, and “earn.” Just like a GameFi.

Things that make the Cheelee project stand out from the rest: 1. GameFi short video platform with a sustainable financial model:

● Cheelee is preeminent a social network, compared to 30% of Cheelee's total revenue comes from the income sources not related to the NFT sales i.e. from advertising, in-app purchases and collaborations with brands. In move-2-earn apps, this figure is only 1%.

● Entering the social media market gives Cheelee the access to a huge audience of potential users - 4.6 bln people. In comparison, the audience of crypto users is only 320M people. Due to the size of the market, Cheelee can provide a monthly excess inflow of users for many years. 2. No need to create a new habit like Move To Earn projects. You just watch videos and earn money. Even if you don't have any investment, you can still get "Starting NFT glasses" to participate in Cheelee ecosystem. 3. The project REALLY controls the Token rate:

● Corporate revenue (70% of the advertising revenue, in-app purchases and 100% of NFT sales and in-app purchases) will go to the Stability Fund

● The LEE in-game utility token is limited in its emission and the complexity of its mining is algorithmically growing. This stimulates the token prices to rise, which, in its turn, encourages users to use the Hodl- strategy more often.

● The project is protected from farms and bots. 4. Initial success: Launched NUTson social network (Similar to Tiktok)

● The technologies behind Cheelee took 3+ years of hard work from the team of over 100 experienced developers.
