What is so special about Grapevine? #newuser

I was talking to a friend from work who is extremely active on Grapevine and they told me about this new feature on the app. Apparently, if you are active on Grapevine everyday for 30 days and make 1000 grapes during that time then you get a bottom card asking you to opt in to a more exclusive community of professionals. All of them meet on a monthly basis across the country, for a fireside chat. Everyone is flown from their base locations and the entire thing end to end is sponsored by Grapevine where you spend no money. I am extremely certain because I have seen their Instagram stories.

Hi @Grapevine team and Community marketing enthusiast who have worked on 0-1/1-10, We are building a community app related to dating and figuring out unpaid marketing channels what will work or not since we don’t have much money to do paid marketing. How did you started grapevine and manage community effects, did you go to paid channels? Do you believe in grow fast or die or growing slow in community apps is also fine since credibility comes with size of community. What are the effective channels we can explore apart from twitter and instagram? Members even if you don’t have idea please like the post to get it highlighted it will be great help for us❤️

I’ll go first. To me, it’s all about access. Access to authentic ideas. The best search result you get on Google is high SEO but low authenticity. On LinkedIn, there are so many people but everyone is shilling a course or 1:1 resume reviews. Mostly it has become a place which started as vanity signalling Like ( I have started a new role…, I have been accepted at …, I have received offers from F, A, N and G and I’m joining G.) And now people pushing mindless content with “Agree?” or “Comment Interested”. Somehow, everyone is truly inauthentic to please a wider audience and say the exact same generic gyaan to maximise engagement. For now, Grapevine is where people are genuinely themselves and I get to hear interesting things that you get to hear near the coffee machine. Kinda feels like we’re all a big community where we all contribute and learn new things about the professional landscape around us. Godspeed Grapevine. 🚀

How to use this app to get a job?

Visiting the app, seeing posts from across topics by people who are sort of mostly like-aged feels very very good Its even better for people who are a bit shy and find it hard to converse irl! Visiting grapevine at least once a day has become a habit!!

Seeing so many founders who doesn’t want to hire from IIT is just increasing and I fully support this. IITs are not the super smart people that they used to be. Now they are mostly test takers and that’s it with no innovation or anything. Using pedigree to get into jobs and raising funds are gone. IIT is not a sign for anything and the badge doesn’t matter anymore. Good luck to my friends who actually deserve it from IIT or not. I know there are actually great people who are in IIT but just don’t make IIT your entire personality.

Hey hey hey, one of the oldest GV users here. Was busy for a few months with life, job, and family. This app and content seems to have really evolved. Seeing lots of new usernames and discussions. What do people usually talk about here these days?

Hey Folks, I thought I should do an AMA specially after yesterday’s rumours that I have been laid off from Grapevine - this isn’t true 😂. It is however true that I have been PIPed and have a much reduced role now xD To be serious: Happy to answer any Grapevine questions that you may have. Features, ideas, questions on why we do what we do welcome - I’ll answer what I can! Cheers!
