I’m Micheal Scott from GV, Ask Me Anything
Also really wanted to try this Uber cool carousel images features we’ve added ❤️
the best part is undoubtedly getting multiple messages every week where someone appreciates GV and says nice things about it. Also I'm privileged to be building a consumer social app along with our awesome team. I'll never be able to work on B2B SAAS after this, lol!
The worst part is the existential threat of GV someday shutting down if we run out of money or aren't able to ever make money. We never want to put GV in that position. We believe it does plenty of good for plenty of people and our mistakes should never be the reason for it to go away :// Just a sad thought that crosses my mind some times

Curious about your team.. what is it like?
Number of people, pods types, culture etc
its actually the best team I've ever worked with - I'm biased because I was so involved in assembling this squad. Super humble and curious folks.
There's 14 of us now including the 4 people who originally started GV.
7 of us are in engineering/data. 2 design/UX. The rest 5 work on product/growth things.

How do you plan to monetize gv in the future? I understand if you choose not to answer this though.
you should ask the Distilled/Search feature this question. It'll give you a solid summary of how hundreds of users have answered 'How Grapevine should make money haha'.
TBH we don't exactly know today. But as the AI says it will have to be some combo of Jobs and Ads. Let's see. We're still long away from that x

- How difficult it was to leave a cushy job at Google and startup?
- what made you take this step?
tbh I loved that job and living in the US. But starting something up and returning to India just made way more sense. From the time I decided I want to quit - it took me 9-10 months to actually do it. So yes I took my sweet time. But it only became clearer as every day passed.
Besides, we already had a good idea something like GV can succeed because we had launched our first community (Corporate Chat India) on Discord and it was working quite well. So I had an idea Grapevine wouldn't completely tank when we launched it. Made it easier to take the plunge :)
