VOTE YOUR GOAT™. FIND YOUR TRIBE™.

The Watercooler has been taken away.
“Got any Netflix shows I can watch?”
“Any podcasts you recommend?”
“Where is the best burger in town?”
“Are you looking anywhere good for vacation?”
“WHAT BOOK SHOULD I READ?”

Our social environment has been disrupted. Once reliable Old Normal interactions in the workplace, houses of worship, Little League and soccer field sidelines, bars and restaurants to gather information and recommendations from our friends and peers are no longer. We now search for these same things and ideas through digital mediums. But there is too much noise and not enough signal.

Goatlist™ solves for signal.

Goatlist™ is THE 1st and only Rank-Choice-Voting “Slow-cial” commerce platform for users and influencers to “Settle the Debate ™”. Goatlist™ captures all your best ideas in one place and shares them with your trusted “Tribe” of like-minded people.

Through User posts and DIRECT DEMOCRACY, the platform selects a GOAT (Greatest of All Time) in ANY given category of their choosing: the greatest number of votes IS the GOAT for that category and can change over time. The remaining choices are ranked by number of votes as well. Goatlist™ crowdsources opinion, and narrows the sphere of influence to like-minded and trusted individuals, which increases “signal”.

“Find your Tribe. Your Tribe are people with similar passions” - Kanye West

The core concept is simple: people want their voice to be heard, and naturally seek approval from the crowd. It is how we find our Tribe. With Goatlist™ users “Vote their GOAT™” to share their best ideas, thoughts, and experiences. Goatlist™ digitally crowdsources the GOAT of any topic or idea.

Core to our mission is a healthy experience for our users. Goatlist™ is not designed for an “always-on” maximum engagement experience, but rather for utility, product discovery, and connecting with like-minded and trusted individuals. Based on the anthropological principle known as The Dunbar Number, the platform will encourage users to limit the number of profiles any one user follows to around 150 per Tribe. The Dunbar Number is a theoretical cognitive limit to the number of people with whom an individual can maintain stable social relationships. By reminding users when they follow in excess of 150 profiles per Dunbar Tribe, the users can curate their feed to what is most relevant to them.

The App in its initial iteration has three primary features:

MyGoatlist™: “Vote Your GOAT™”. What is the GOAT of X? This is your personal list of all your favorite things which serves two primary purposes: 1. A personal record for yourself and 2. A source of discovery for your Tribe.

GoatBattles™: “Vote. Defend. Battle.™” When posting your Goatlist™ the user will be prompted to simply post, or to Battle. If Battle is chosen the user will write a quick “defense” of why their goat is THE GOAT. The Battle enables the Tribe to Vote on the GOAT of any given topic. The selection with the most Votes is the GOAT and can change over time.

GoatNow™. Consumable media is an insatiable Hungry Ghost. We are in constant need of new recommendations for shows, podcasts, audiobooks, and more. GoatNow™ solves the consumption dilemma of too much choice. Users can curate the categories they would like to see which will appear on the screen in a tile-like format. Click-thru to any tile to see what your Tribe has posted to that category, or zoom out to see the Herd’s (global) recommendations. Users can upvote posts which will enable rank-order listings from most to least popular.

Our team believes we are in an Age of Populism, and our digital media must reflect democratic principles. Goatlist™ cuts through all of the noise and brings the power of the internet back to where it was originally intended to lie: with the user.
