ServiceOrca

Hi HN! We’re building ServiceOrca — a global platform where users can search, compare, and contact any type of service provider, across any industry. Unlike Yelp, Angi, or Thumbtack, which focus mostly on local or home-related services (like restaurants or plumbers), ServiceOrca is built for all types of services — from legal to tech, healthcare to consulting — and it works worldwide. We just launched our pre-launch version, and are onboarding early providers now. The goal is to create a unified, structured, and truly global service marketplace — not limited by location or industry. Would…

    I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord.
