Q3 Product Roadmap: Please Share Your Ideas!

Published on Aug 2, 2018


Hello VIP investors!

We're sharing our Q3 product roadmap in the Trello link above.  We'd love your ideas.

Our focus over Q3 2018 is on community.  This forum is the very first step on that path.

Some of the questions we are interested in exploring:  

  • How can we create a stronger relationship between investors and founders? 
  • How can we help investors feel like they are part of a community? How can they help the company and get rewarded for it?  
  • How can we better fund good early-stage companies without large social media followings?
  • How can we create or support affinity groups that want to impact the world in a certain way by investing in innovation in that topic?
  • How can we create and support an ecosystem so others can act like a part-time VC and get rewarded for it? How can we incentivize experts to do due diligence and endorsements? How can we encourage mentors to help founders?

Some things on our short-term list

Just some of the things we are experimenting with this quarter:

  • Discuss.  This very forum. 
  • User Profiles. How do you want to represent yourself to others? 
  • Funds.  Allowing experts to be compensated like part-time VC's for scouting companies, doing due diligence, and mentoring.  
  • Office Hours.  Those with expertise should be able to share it, both online and offline.
  • Shout-Outs.  Recognition when you help funds or companies.
  • User Following & Messaging.  If users are in the same group, or follow each other, they should be able to contact each other.  
  • Bounties.  A list of all the small ways you can help founders, and a reward/perk for doing so.  

Please let us know what you think!

Please use this forum to tell us your thoughts.  You can also monitor the Trello link to vote for ideas or see our progress. Thank you!
