Good news: from today, we are open to all startup professionals, not just founders and investors 👐 Bad news: you need an invite to get in 🔒 Now more good news! - AI will help authors to write more meaningful reviews 🤖 - you can read the reviews on yourself too 🙊 Are you a confident professional in the startup world? Learn how to improve and show others what you are best at. #BringItOn

Big changes coming in mid-September! 🔥 We’d love to see you in person and hear your feedback. You can join us in: Milan - get an aperitivo and a special gadget at Plug and Play Tech Center. Rome - hear our founder Andrea on stage at the Rome Startup Week. Bologna - chat with Andrea at The Bologna Gathering. Turin - grill the whole team at our side-event in the OGR, during the Italian Tech Week. Links in the comments 😉

Tired of all the BS on LinkedIn? Another post from a Forbes30U30 “thought leader”? (Looking at you Andrea Zorzetto 😂). Try out the browser extension and see the reputation of your LinkedIn connections 😈 It’s available to everyone - link in the comments.

Thanks to all our users! 🙏 From this week you can: - unlock more insights on yourself - react to reviews - share users' profiles to ask for a review on someone As usual, looking forward to your feedback 😉

Congrats to the 15 most popular founders and investors 🎉 These are the users (out of 700 😱) who got more reviews in the first month post launch. With a whopping 71 reviews, and counting, Jacopo Mele is the winner. Well done! And a bit of shame on Andrea Zorzetto - he’s far from the podium, on his own platform 😂 Riccardo Russo Diyala D'Aveni Andrea Chirolli Matteo Moscarelli Gaia Salizzoni Nicolò Santin Tommaso Moraca Chiara Castelli Enrico Pandian Lucrezia Lucotti Tommaso Maschera Aurora Maggio Simone Cimminelli

Yes, now every user can read all reviews! Today we are bringing down the wall between founders and investors: everyone can now review and read reviews on everyone. ⚔️ Ah did we say all reviews? Well yes but that obviously excludes the reviews on yourself. Still, more good news: the threshold to unlocking your insights is lower. And there are more insights coming for the more popular users. Happy Friday 🎉

Thanks a lot to our investors at Moonstone Venture Capital for organising a great hike in Macugnaga! We'll spare you the LinkedIn-style analogies between building companies and climbing mountains 😅 Instead, let us tease you again. We got great feedback from some users and fellow hikers: even more changes coming tomorrow 😉

Guess what, people are curious 👀 Curious about reviews on others, even from their own side (eg investors about investors) and especially about reviews on themselves. Nobody has access to all the content, so that we protect anonymity and reduce biases. But… we are working to unlock more of it for everyone, in safe ways. Changes coming this Friday, stay tuned 😉  

Yesterday we hit the 1,000-review milestone. Lots of people told us reviews will be biased: 😇 ”They will all be positive” 😈 ”They will all be negative” 💰 ”It all depends on the investment decision” Fair points, but the data disagree. The majority of the reviews are positive from both sides, yet this is little correlated with the funding. As we showed last week, founders are more critical than investors – even among those who got the money, a few still gave 1 or 2 stars. Have a look!

Nice try! We observed a couple of people writing reviews on themselves. Obviously, this is against the rules 😂 We do detect it and remove those self-compliments 👮♀️
