What is the best part about building grapevine? What is the worst?
@Nole 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
@JinSakaii 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.
Just 14 people running a 24/7 social media app is wild 😯
@Aragorn_urf_Maverick 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 :)

I’m pumped to chat with you a...
Hey! First things first—what do your stats say? Does size really matter? Asking on behalf of my friend, Joe Biden.
I was the first person to join this app ffs
We just computed everyone’s Grapes
But now I am pissed off to learn that I don’t have the most amount of grapes. I thought I was the most liked person here. I’m not even top 5.
Not e...
