A year end Thank you note

Same time last year, an early version of Grapevine was ready. We still didn’t know if it will ever work, if anyone will use it and even if they do, will they return to use it a second time? If there’s anything we did well this year, it was in creating a space where smart, talented, high-potential people like to spend time and communicate with each other on topics ranging from work, salaries, personal finances, life, philosophy, technology and so much more Rest everything: Product, Marketing, Engineering, Design, we want to get better on, and we will Thank you for your patience as we slowly build this product and mess up, many many times. In 2024 we promise to work 2X harder to deliver you the most helpful platform for professionals But more important than what the Grapevine team achieved in 2023, is what y’all did: - You created 24K posts - You created ~200K comments - Shared 10s of thousands of salaries to help each other - Shared 1000s of open job opportunities - Referred 100s of people - Helped 100s of Grapeviners find new jobs - Helped 1000s of Grapeviners negotiatiate an offer - Helped 100s of people not move to Bangalore by complaining enough xD - Endless awesome conversations - Infinite good vibes This is truly wholesome and thank you for all your countless high-quality contributions - not to forget the epic memes and laughs along the way! Onwards and Upwards! Happy 2024
