How did the business idea emerge?
We were sitting back at home and searching for best android phones to buy and landed on e-commerce and few review sites but they could not help to understand which one is the best among all available options. Therefore we thought there should be a site which should only show public generated results of Top 10 items in all categories so that we don’t get lost in 5000+ results coming out of Google search.

Where did your capital come from and who funded you?
Currently we are self-funded and looking for angle investors who can support us building a long term sustainable product to serve the people searching for Top 10 things online.
