Hi community, I'm sharing a personal story and looking for advice (not super MBA related, I was admitted to INSEAD but decide working on real project is better)

I was born and raised in China, then self-exiled around the world. Earned a master's from Hebrew University of Jerusalem and worked in Tel Aviv, Berlin, Lagos, Dubai and Sao Paulo for a couple of years each. I do operations, business development and marketing for international companies and they dispatch me to different regions.

Living all around the world while making money is lucky. But every relocation is like uprooting a tree with its roots and replant myself in a totally new environment. I feel very blessed to encounter extraordinary kindness along the way, help from countless people that I even forget their names. For example, a Hungarian doctor working in Berlin took me to her kitchen and asked me what I needed when I was moving to a new apartment. She said when she came to Berlin years ago with two suitcases, she was treated by someone the same and she wanted to pass it on me. I want to give back these kindness by solving social probelms, one being loneliness and anxiety in the era of social media and AI, which I feel strongly and understand well.

I want to change the status quo, to rebuild human connection and resonance by building a skill/companion/experience trading platform, starting for people in their early to middle career life. On the one side, people can register as seeker with questions about their career or life; on the other side, people can register as giver if they are specialized in a specific topic (career pivots, industry insights, life transitions etc.). Seeker can book 1v1 long conversation with giver who lived what they are going through. No endless scrolling on dopamine driven content but find someone to have a deep conversation with and solve real problems.

Another side of the story is my feelings towards job and money. I can do well in job but it doesn't bring me fulfillment. I always want to do something big, solve social problems, either for nature or human, and drive positive social impact. I'm a girl fine with living simple, but I need quite some money to feel secure. I'm quite fearful of building this, all in. So I feel struggled oftentimes.

Have taken steps forward and back in the last few months, I finally signed an outsourcing company to build this product last week. Tried AI to build but stumbled into many problems so outsourcing is better for me. I need following help if you can share:

1. How do you manage fears when building something?
2. Do you know someone who can be a good co-founder of this business?
3. The beta product will be ready in a few weeks. Would you like to join my waitlist and give me brutal honest feedback?

Thanks a million for reading these lines.
