Welcome back to Found, where we tell you the stories behind the startups.
Super Troopers premiered at Sundance to a receptive, giggling crowd, but if you judged it based on its Rotten Tomato score and reviews, you’d think it flopped. Writer, director, comedian and recent founder Jay Chandrasekhar never felt right about the critiques from random strangers online. So he set about creating Vouch Vault, an app in which friends can recommend media, restaurants and products to each other, and users can trust those reviews because they’re coming from people with similar tastes. He talks with Darrell and Jordan about using a Hollywood approach to funding a tech company and how he is thinking about changing user behavior.
