Original post below in bold starting with maybe. After this post got some attention from the ownership to the point where @sahil and two of his product managers jumped on a call with me to talk about many of the things mentioned in the post weeks ago, I present to you the here and now.
Absolutely nothing has happened. No follow up, no updates, no nothing. This guy even snubs my LinkedIn connection request.
This is the first time I have been on this thing in weeks, and this is only because I still had a chrome tab open to Bravado and thought I should tap out this update to share that info.
From what and why I originally posted this to not seeing any urgency on the part of ownership to improve this platform with all of his VC playdoh...
For these reasons I am out. Sayonara to the grinders and the animals, and to those professionals who are keeping it real and doing us justice in the profession.
Maybe this will get me kicked off the island, maybe it won't.
First, the obvious (at least to my thinking). What the fuck would I actually have to do to earn 100k points for a Rolex I don't even want, which is currently the top item in the prize bag here. Prizes could be a lot more creative and compelling, and points easier to earn.
After all, one core piece of the financial value of this platform is the data around how many users are on it and how much time they spend on it. For the 10 or so hours of time I have spent setting up a profile, posting and offering feedback, I now have a whopping 89 points. This would earn me a calendar or a coffee mug...
Also, I have been on this platform for a couple weeks now, and while I enjoy the war room with the characters, actual value in posts, and the insightful and funny feedback, I find the core purpose of the platform, which is why I actually signed up and jumped on, is not really driving a lot of value thus far.
Trying not to sound dbaggy, but I am a seasoned and experienced executive sales type with resume titles ranging from SAE, to VP to Founder. After the first 3 not very good fit "employer connections" or whatever the hell they are called on here, I got bupkus.
I have no information on who is looking at my profile, no contact requests, no new potential employers coming down the feedline, nothing. Not to be a dick, but if someone like me is not getting action, then there is a fundamental flaw in the core value and actual purpose of the platform.
The end
