Will Someone is a social network platform that makes it easy to ask for help. They are part community, and part productivity tool. Think of it as a social productivity tool. You can leverage your network to work with other people to get more shit done. Obviously, it will probably work best if you’re a giver as well as a taker, and this tool helps you to be both.  

What makes Will Someone different?

What is the purpose of Will Someone?

Alynd is the startup behind the Will Someone social network. Founder and CEO Chris Heuer has over twenty years experience in hacking productivity and digitizing business. Alynd’s focus is in creating solutions for collaboration and accountability in the professional world. Their mission is to “accelerate the rise of the future of work by embracing and amplifying the principles of mutual respect, true collaboration and personal accountability for our individual role in creating shared value.” With Will Someone, they are taking their experience in professional collaboration and bringing it to the masses. It is a tool that can be used in professional settings, but is primarily for use in your community outside of work. With this platform you can request any kind of task from household chores to tutoring sessions. The website is still a bit shaky, but over the next couple months they plan to release mobile apps, improve the desktop experience, and extend some of the functionality and features.
