Grapevine, once a platform only for guys has a healthy number of female members now. 
I know this because after having discussion with several people in the comments section I would often find out their gender. Most would reveal they're male. But these days I have had good discussions with female members here as well. This is good for the community.

Grapevine gender ratio is improving- Grapevine

Was speaking to two of my friends (from GV) on this topic. One was supporting, and one against.

As a fellow female on Grapevine, I think it is not necessary. 
If only we stop treating women as second gender, and just see them as basic humans, a lot of things will change.

To let people have a safe space to voice opinions, does not need a secluded room.

So many of us are unaware of problems (physical, mental, emotional) others face, this platform does a great job in bringing all at one place.

Do we need separate community for women on Grapevine?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

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

Love grapevine. This is the best community I have found to actually talk my heart out, it’s like grapevine and the people who are using grapevine have become my go-to people when it comes to sharing my life and career or anything.

Grapevine making it easy to identify gender based on profile pics it has automatically assigned to everyone ?

Currently I am discovering gv. I am loving it. You don't get doxxed(🤞) + you get to chat and converse with others like it's a WhatsApp group. 
Kinda love this. 
Is this just me? or 👀
If so, then what is the idea of social media. To bring more people to a platform or make it a limited area where you don't get to be toxic and making the space enjoyable

What would the post on Grapevine say?

Hey Folks, 
On the onset , I would like to welcome all the new members who joined Grapevine over last few days. Grapevine is a nice platform and I really hope all of you will enjoy great conversations and viewpoint on this community .

Now to the point why gatekeeping might become essential : I heard some days back , a good man on YouTube posted a video telling his fans about this awesome community. That is why you might have seen outburst of ‘ this is a nice platform ‘ posts on Grapevine. They also thank him in the body of the post xD. Honestly , I am fed up of this non sense posts And my timeline is already cluttered due to this.

Now his followers will start highjacking the community. Right now , this being a professional platform , the posts were interactive and decent to read. Now don’t be surprised if you see posts irrelevant to the community. I remember same thing happening with r/developersIndia community some years back and right now , that sub is kinda dead and have repetitive kind of questions which can easily be found if you have taken the effort to search for the posts.

Secondly, I won’t be surprised in case their is a difference of opinion with the Guru , people or his followers will start you bashing left , right and centre. 

I know this post sounds rude and entitled since everyone should have fair opportunity in life , but definition of fair varies as well. 

I’m very interested in knowing the POV of everyone involved here - may be I am over thinking. But would appreciate your thoughts on this .

Should Grapevine community gatekeep the posts now onwards ?

I'm getting a feeling that grapevine support is like women on this app. Both don't exist (its a joke).

Having some trouble verifying my work id.
Tried sending a mail to them and no response since a few days. Tweeted the founder on Twitter and no response there as well.

Is it just me or there has been a sudden surge of activity on grapevine? Posts are getting more comments.

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!

Is it just me or is grapevine community really small? I keep seeing comments from few selected people only and not many new comments everyday. My experience is based on the "indian Startups" community.

Other platforms like Grapevine

I am honestly just furious at the pay difference between the salary of an sde and a pm. Both work just as hard.

Why are project managers paid less?

It’s therapeutic because you can share different aspects of your life that you can’t talk about on other platforms. For instance, you can't criticize the Ola CEO on LinkedIn, demand justice for the Kolkata rape case on Twitter without getting a notice from the Kolkata police, or express unhappiness on Instagram because that’s not the vibe of that platform. But on Grapevine, you can do all of this and more.

Funny enough, I’ve been able to analyze different aspects of my personality (and all my different personalities). My brain works a lot, I talk a lot, and I think a lot. Over the past year, I've realized I see things very differently than how society, media, or authorities expect me to. Grapevine has been a tool for understanding myself better. I can share a thought, and maybe 15 people will respond—some agreeing, some disagreeing, and a few might even call me names. But that’s okay, that’s just how they function. All part of self-discovery.

Another thing I appreciate about Grapevine is that it removes the halo effect we often have. Our names, colleges, and companies are masked (some who haven't revealed them), reducing the blurring of judgments. We connect with people on a more human-to-human level.

Grapevine is great if you're looking to find a partner, lover, or simply make new friends and expand your network. You can be yourself, and the people who know you here often know you better than those you meet at college, work, or even within your family.

[Long Post] I think I understand why Grapevine works well.

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

Hi Grapeviners, 

This is yours truly Micheal_Scott with a massive announcement. 

We shared a feedback form with all of you yesterday. 5000 of you responded. 
We asked what you’d want Grapevine to be next. 
And you answered. 

We treat user feedback as gospel. 

Grapevine is now a dating app. Just as you asked. 

Grapevine has 10s of thousands of eligible singles. 

I personally cannot wait enough for the first Grapevine baby!

Grapevine dating is now live!

How did you come to know about it? What made you download it? And why are you still using it?

Building anything in social is so hard. I want to know how they got the users.

How do you end up using a platform like Grapevine?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Is it just me or is even a job at the best Tech companies just don’t make any sense for women? 

There are always women who have great family support or husbands that are understanding and encouraging. But generally why does it seem like becoming a senior woman in tech even at the best places is sort of unattractive and significantly increases your odds of “failure” outside of work e.g. divorce,having kids late? 

Interested for thoughts from both men and women.

Hmm, someone I know has more than 10+ patents(ex-broadcom), is a tech evangelist and an implementation advisor for a cloud tech, have 3 kids with fourth on the way. Sometimes you just need a supportive environment.
