Did sequoia have an ownership target? How does your team and you feel post the funding? What can we expect as a next step? How soon will the monetisation bug kick in?  https://entrackr.com/2023/10/...

This platform is now gonna scale, but isn’t 21% too much? Thoughts pls.

PeakXV holds over 21% of Grapevine

Product Manager

Congratulations Grapevine team.. Finally, they raised funding from Peak XV Partners.. Time to DM founders for a job 😂

Grapevine Raised Funding 💸💸

Equity Research

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 is Grapevine doing?

As reports suggest that grapevine is raising money from Peak Fifteen (previously Sequoia), will they allow negative posts about their portfolio companies on the platform?

Peak Fifteen has a record of controlling the media narratives for their portfolio companies before, hope they don't kill this platform!

A thought on grapevine 💭

Anonymous social media platform Grapevine has raised its seed round led by Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia India).

Exclusive: Peak XV acquires over 21% stake in Grapevine

Peak XV acquires 21% stake in Grapevine!

What does this mean for users at Grapevine? Is this data collection for the future. Anonymous messaging services but what is the ultimate end goal here.

It announced fundrise from peakXV (previously Sequoia).

From what I can deduce, they diluted a bit too much. But, I hope that the founding team makes a good one from this!

Cheers Michael bhai!

Badhai ho grapevine!

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❤️

A question to Grapevine Founder/team

Founder

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!

Grapevine is a free app. How do they run their startup?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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!
