Pakistani entrepreneur launches social network for learning

“We are the first social network that parents want their kids to use,” says Hassan Siddiq, the CEO of DailyThem.es, a writing and review platform that leverages peer-to-peer knowledge sharing and crowdsourcing to help users improve their writing skills.

Siddiq is a 27 year-old Yale graduate who was born in Pakistan, grew up in Canada and Pakistan, and is currently based in the US. He is one of the three founders of DailyThem.es; the other two are an Indian and an American. The three met in college.

They launched the DailyThem.es platform on October 21, 2013 as an interactive learning platform for those trying to improve their writing. Users write 100-word pieces regularly, without worrying about the nature or even quality of the content. Users are classified according to their skills, and more skilled writers are able to provide feedback to less-skilled peers. Written pieces are published under anonymous pen names, and users can like or comment, as well as provide feedback and revisions.
