Top Consumer Internet Startups in 2026

We are looking to create a complete team to launch the platform in its lightest version first. The work and money are minimal for the enormous scalability we have. Join our team, we'll be great!

This & That is a next-gen social app that lets people rank and review media and real-world experiences, while also social-media-izing personality and political questionnaires—creating one complete identity and a more authentic way to connect. The three components of the app are Digital, Physical and Intimate, starting with just Digital and following a staged execution plan. *** We’re building This & That, a next-generation social platform that lets users rank and review the core parts of their lives. The product spans three layers: (1) Digital—movies, shows, books, podcasts, YouTube, music; (2) Physical—restaurants, travel, nightlife; and (3) Intimate—personality, beliefs, and compatibility. It consolidates dozens of fragmented niche platforms (Letterboxd, Goodreads, Yelp, Hinge, Beli) into one unified taste and identity graph. We’re executing in stages. The first version—the Digital-only mobile app—is our beachhead product and is already in active development (Flutter/AWS). This initial release lets users build a single profile of everything they watch, read, and listen to, discover global rankings, and connect with others based on shared taste. Starting intentionally narrow gives us a clear wedge, early user retention loops, and measurable traction before expanding into Physical and Intimate layers. Over time, the platform will evolve into a full-spectrum social identity system: one place where users can express taste, discover what’s worth consuming, what places are worth going and understand how they align with others. But the short-term focus is simple and deliberate—ship the Digital layer, validate behavior, grow a passionate early community, and then scale the product into the broader ecosystem.

StageCircuit exists because finding opportunities in the entertainment industry is still far more difficult than it should be. Performers rely on fragmented social media, word of mouth, and personal connections to find gigs. Venues struggle to discover new talent, and agents spend countless hours searching across disconnected platforms. There isn't one place where the entire entertainment industry comes together. We are building that place. StageCircuit is creating a centralized platform where performers, venues, agents, and fans can connect, collaborate, and grow. Whether you are booking your first local performance or searching for your next headline act, our goal is to make discovering opportunities simple and accessible. We are building more than a booking marketplace. StageCircuit is designed to be a professional network for the entertainment industry where talent can showcase their work, build a reputation, receive bookings, and connect with the people who can help advance their careers. We are still in the early stages, but our vision is ambitious. We want StageCircuit to become the platform where entertainment careers begin, opportunities are discovered, and lasting professional relationships are built. The next generation of performers deserves better tools. We are building them.
