Two things: 
 i) Continuous fresh content, which can only be achieved after a substantial user base 
  ii) Great content moderation, ensure that I will get exactly what I'm looking for when on this platform

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I was active on Hood app, for quite some time before it turned into another platform where people put in their fantasies?! It was again pseudonymous, and eventually the trend died, their DAU/MAU started to drop. What's something that will make a user sticky in a pseudonymous network?

How's this different from Blind/Hood app?

How's this different from Blind/Hood app?- Grapevine

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Have your say guys, which app is better and why?

I like this platform. We can vent our hearts out because it's anonymous

Founder

I believe Pseudonymity can be a double-edged sword, as it allows individuals to be who they are, but limits the influence they can wield by not revealing their true identity. 

What do you think will be the future of these pseudonymous platforms like Grapevine, Blind, etc ? How will they position themselves among other emerging platforms like Peerlist ?

Zorro rebranded to Hood but don't know anyone using it. The early days are fun because it's full of gossip but it can leave you feeling very negative after a while. Wdyt?

How does companies like Grapevine/Blind/Hood make money?

How big is the market for these type of companies?? 🤔

Revenue Model of Grapevine ??

Hood is by that Gabbar guy, utterly useless

What is the most useless social media app out of India and why is it hood?

Bc I am wondering how they did ask for 600 crs valuation with such content? Looks like they’ve hired Interns to keep up the engagement. That Gobar guy from twt should stop shitposting and do something about this app Instead.

Hood App - Weird content.

How is Hood app doing? Surviving or dead?

So I’m not sure if there are any particular strategies but what I do on Blind is changing usernames.

Now that works on Blind because it doesn’t show the new username on comments and posts made before the change.

However Grapevine is updating my username in old comments as well.

@GrapevineDevs What do you folks think about it?

Staying anonymous in Grapevine

This fucked up app is backed by 3one4 and 57 top angels - absolutely disgusting

Always knew of Hood, finally downloaded yday to check it out - man what the fuck is wrong with the company?

Investor

How does this app plan to monetize?

Is there anyone who is interested to get the actual numbers of Hood, or want to do their app review and want to get the actual data.

I am here just let me know.

How hood is doing now?

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?

Saw this on Twitter today, found this interesting and loved the idea. 

The app is named - Jamm. A members-only social network that helps you meet all kinds of people over fun activities IRL. Tagline - ‘Never Have Another Boring Week’.

The idea behind this as per founder (Able Joseph) is to improve the social health/life of its members. The more like-minded the community, the nicer its interactions will be. 


Here’s how it works.
- Apply for membership
- Once accepted, pick an activity (board games, bike rides, etc.) and post a Jamm
- Receive requests from other members who are interested to be a part of your Jamm
- Curate the people you wish to bring together
- Coordinate with the Jammers on group chat
- Meet them IRL and have a good time

Interesting to see how they’ll be solving security challenges associated with meeting people. Also, I guess this could also turn out to be a hookup app.

What you guys think? 

Bengaluru peeps here - Have you used this yet?

Came across this interesting startup - Jamm. A members-only social network

What started as an Instagram-inspired social experiment has turned into a startup idea. (Refer: Men https://grapevine.in/post/808462ef-8ae0-4269-aaa3-c683ba1194bb and women https://grapevine.in/post/6bcaeffa-0cac-44a2-98a5-fc7a14786e85 survey)

Few observations:
1. Our generation has moved on from orthodox thinking (baring few people) to more emotional compatibility
2. Men have more worldly expectations, while women seek spiritual features; none are right/wrong as long as they find each other.
3. Very glad that no one 'expected' the partner to take up gendered roles as dictated by society

So, coming to the matchmaking platform. The idea is to have all aspects of life considered - personality, profession, family, demographics, physical attributes, etc. and have a weighted scale against them.

Though I have my doubts here
1. An Introvert will need an extrovert to seek them but will be drained of social battery later. How do they match?
2. Physical attributes pull down people who aren't confident with their looks; that doesn't relate to how good/bad they are as partners. But without pictures, it will be a risky surprise element.
3. Prevent parents from creating accounts on children's behalf. Probably a social media log-in

Share your thoughts on the compatibility algorithm and the problems we may face.

P.S. I am not a techie, will need someone to actually build this. Will take care of marketing.
Let's help someone find their soulmate ❤️

P.P.S. If this takes off, I will change my username to TimaSaparia
