Discovered hidden feature on Grapevine

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!

Check out this community on Grapevine - https://share.gvine.app/dGnczLuDAUYizDKCA P.S. I need more audience when I post here 😅

I saw the founders' posts about hiring for Grapevine. Did you guys raise funds? If not, how is this being funded? How do you plan to monetize? What's next for Grapevine?

how’d you convince someone to join grapevine???

Currently it seems like a WhatsApp group of ~ 15 people interacting with each other. Not sure how does the platform intends to grow

Hey folks, Happy friday! What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss. Think of it like the watercooler at your office. Look forward to hearing from you all :)

Pardon me for being so naive here. I want to understand this new type of startup trend. 1. What’s the source of motivation for their employees to stick to their jobs? 2. How do apps like these think of monetizing? There is no ad, no paid feature per say. 3. Grapevine has probably built some kind of a platform. But how is this different from platforms like twitter, facebook or any other social media platform? 4. How much money do you think has been invested into building apps like this? 5. The DAU of this app based on my wild guess must be around 5K. I may be completely wrong here. 6. What according to you is the current valuation of grapevine? 7. Saumil Tripathi, the founder of grapevine is ex-google employee as per his LinkedIn profile. There is no mention of any other any other startup he owns. 8. Grapevine has a team of 10 employees (as per Saumil’s post a few weeks back) How do these guys make money? I’m awestruck by the guys working in grapevine. Building an app of this quality with no monetization in sight! Pounce on this thread with your thoughts guys!

How has grapevine raised 3 mill with barely 10K users?

Hey Folks, As Grapevine enters its second year of being live, we wanted to finish the major overhaul we were building towards over the last few months. We've rolled out some big updates today - please do update your app. Here's some top changes: 1.

UI: A new font, new like (upvote) button and new community icons across the app 3. 100 Private Grapevines: We are proud/happy to share that there's now 100 private company grapevines where verified employees talk amongst each other. Join your company's Grapevine now. 4. Grapes 2.0: A new definition for Grape rewards coming soon. Grapes 2.0 definition will include more value to users for creating 'chatty' posts and verifying yourselves 5. Direct Messages: Multiple changes to improve the DM experience on Grapevine. You can also DM anyone from the Grapevine team (including MS) at any time without any Grape-constraints :) 6.

We want to make this the best-most helpful professional app that's out there P.S coming next week, a 2X faster Grapevine app..

I have been on grapevine for some months now and this is the best community building app I have ever seen I can talk my heart out and the people here actually come out to support and share their journey and experiences as well. Hats off to the founder who has made grapevine
