If you've been in the industry long enough, you know the message: "Would love to pick your brain over coffee sometime."
You say yes because you want to help. Then it's an hour of your time, scattered advice, and they usually do nothing with it. Repeat 50x per year.
We built mindPick to make these exchanges actually work:
- Someone has a real question → they pay €15-150 (Expert choses) and submit it with context
- You record a (video) answer when you have 10 focused minutes
- They get something useful, you get compensated, no one's calendar explodes
It's async knowledge sharing with a seriousness filter built in. Turns out people value advice roughly in proportion to what they pay for it.
Stack: React + Vite, Vercel, Stripe. Two founders, bootstrapped.
Curious what HN thinks:
- Would you use this to monetize your expertise?
- What would hold you back?

Happy to dig into the build or the model.
