3. What problem is
Recommend solving?
Word-of-mouth has always been the best way
to choose products and services.
But recommendations from experts and
trusted friends are spread all over the internet
and mostly have remained offline.

4. Recommend is the first online network to
gather and deliver customized advice the
way we do it in our everyday life.
