From the readers: Melissa's friend just launched Voicebar, a new dating app that hand picks a match + sets you up for a phone call. Her pitch: more intimate and creates a better connection than tinder. Check it out!

Idea: FB marketplace for high-value items. Right now, there's a # of places to sell your things: FB marketplace, craigslist, poshmark, offerup, etc. But where do you go to sell a possession of yours that's (a) $1000+ and (b) to people who live nearby? Eureka moment: a friend of ours (late 50s) is moving to CA after living in NYC for 25 years. Has a bunch of expensive stuff (ie art) he "just wants to get rid of." Platform would connect buyers <> sellers, verify users by connecting a bank account and prob one other source of authentication, handle payment, and take a % of the sale.
