Every Company’s Private Watercooler: 185 Companies are now live 🔥

Hey Folks, A few updates to Grapevine, so please do update your app from play/app store :) 1. A new slightly redesigned feed. We’ve adjusted font-weights and spacing to make things easier on your eyes. More refinements coming soon 2. Post and Comment Insights: You now get insights on posts and comments where you receive more than 7 likes. This will be a feature which all writers on the app will def appreciate :) 3. A better feed: We are constantly making adjustments to give you a better feed. Efforts such as ‘trending posts for you’ and the upcoming ‘posts you may like’ are efforts in this direction. This is something we want to get better at 4. Results on Polls: You can now see poll results even before you answer them! We can finally lose the popcorn option. Long time pending, I know… 5. Update on Private Feeds: We now have around 2500 verified users using their company’s private feed. IMO this is one of the deepest and most useful products within Grapevine. Or so I hear :) We will launch 25 more companies where we have ‘critical mass’ over the coming 4 weeks! Upcoming - we are very close to: 1. The rollout of DMs on Grapevine (after maybe 1000 users here scolded at us for not making it lol) 2. Rollout of the exciting new Salary Product (middle tab) 3. Grapes 2.0: Updating the Grapes formula to reflect your contribution to the community even more accurately Your patience and feedback is a privilege we do not take lightly! Thanks Grapeviners, and Happy Friday

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. Communities: A whole new look to communities on Grapevine, along with new features such as community sort and live member counts (screenshot attached) 2. 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. Gestures: You can now swipe between screens on Grapevine, you can also swipe left when a post is open to go back to home screen (on iOS) As always, keep sending us your feedback. 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..

We're hiring for roles across engineering, design and growth. As early users of Grapevine, it would be amazing to have you on this journey to build an awesome product, company and culture. https://grapevine-chat.notion.site/Become-a-founding-member-at-Grapevine-fe36cb0d33184f32802f9a18bc48cbca

Hi Grapeviners Over the last month or so we announced two massive products that are as big as Grapevine itself: 

1. Private Company groups with verification 2. Salaries on Grapevine Thousands of you have since adopted these products, but most importantly, you gave us great feedback and we are working on making these more helpful Here’s what you can expect from Grapevine in the next few weeks: 1. Direct Messaging on Grapevine (yes yes, I know at this point everyone seems to be giving up on this xD) 2. V2 Update to Salaries - making it more useful with more data points 3. Launching verification and company private groups for 100 companies (we will keep doing this where we have enough people) 4. A better feed: We are hoping to show you less of posts you’ve already seen (A common complain with Grapevine) 5. A new approach to communities on Grapevine 6. A feature buff to Polls - making them even more insights rich 7. Better Link type posts - currently links on Grapevine are broken 8. Grapes V2: People will get grapes for creating ‘Chatty posts’ and ‘Deep Polls’ over and above the current definition of Grapes that is just focused on the number of likes you get 9. An Official Grapevine mixer (details soon!) As always, your feedback and spreading the good word about Grapevine is always appreciated

Recently came across a very useful blind post which collated an extensive list of companies in india and categorized based on wlb and pay. Link - https://www.teamblind.com/us/s/0Ba6FqWZ This should be pinned at grapevine.

If you worked at Stripe/PayPal/Airbnb early on, it felt like you were building something magical. What are some early-stage startups that feel this way? For me, it's linear, Chronicle, Grapevine, browser company, Humane

After Software Engineers, Product Managers, Designers, Data Scienties, 'Founders' looks to be the 5th largest class of user. Welcome to Grapevine, y'all! 💪
