Grapevine Monetization

What is Grapevine's monetizing route? So far, I didn't see any buy button in Grapevine. Would they be going the ad route or Blind route?

Seems like they are currently focused on acquisition and will slowly charge people to keep their identities hidden.

What could be other ways they could monetize?

Bad product managers, focus on monetisation, great product managers, focus on retention

Agreed. How long would someone take before thinking about monetization?

You can focus on retention without pushing the paywall down the users throat. But not having one after this long surprises me.

Really looking forward to how they plan to monetize the platform.

GV is a hybrid version of Reddit & LinkedIn. It can only grow if the communities become stronger and retain users. Monetization can be done multiple ways:

Community buy-in: pay to be in exclusive group
Job referral and professional growth
Top GV creator & subscriber economy
Substack subscription model
Corporate News as a service
Discovering sectoral experts The options are countless. You can monetise anyway if you got a strong community on a platform.

Multiple ways - job boards, buy DMs, can go B2B route too

Its early stage for monetisation though, focus should be acquisition, engagement and retention. Min 1 mil users before they can think of monetisation imo

Just like reddit they can put ads and sell avatars. They can also provide more job info etc for pro account.

Monetization Plan of Grapevine

Just wondering what is the monetisation plan of Grapevine? Will it charge user like X? Or it will go ad way like Meta? Or sell data on salary etc ? Any thoughts?
