Carefully vs Qrate.TV

Exchange childcare with people you trust

Carefully is an easy way to build a network of parents you know and trust to share care and provide mutual aid, redefining the traditional ‘care circle’ model for the digital age. Carefully understands finding, organizing, and paying for childcare can be a challenge. We’re connecting parents with their friends, families, and communities to create a safe and free option for childcare that’s fun for the kids!

Spotify for video

Qrate.TV is a web application which provides for social curating of online video and permits you to easily watch online video through your TV. Users are able to initiate and collaborate on the creation of video playlists (known as “Qs”), and can then share these Qs either privately or publicly. In effect, the creator of the Q (the “Qrator”) is enabled to run their own video channel. Qrate.TV can also share what they are watching with their friends, and see what their friends are watching, which will greatly simplify the current situation of finding suitable video content online.
The idea behind Qrate.TV was pitched at the Startup Weekend event held in Brisbane in October 2013. Qrate.TV was selected by the Startup Weekend judges as the winning pitch.
