What does https://t.co/DTwzWaPi93 get right vs. not as a product? Will it succeed?

Have a thought? We'd love to hear it on https://t.co/0I8KFfVWYy

When you do great work you should have access to more opportunities because of that work, through the people who are impressed by you https://t.co/AhhtNQlFc4

We're early-stage & operate in 2wk sprints/cycles—focused on getting things shipped. Our 2 priorities:

1) Build prod features—mobile-responsive, well-designed UX that delights users as they recommend & discover talent.
2) Build ML systems to understand & enable trust driven UX.

Exciting times at @TrustedFor_! We’re looking to hire a Product Engineer to join the founding team. Come help us build LinkedIn 2.0—where user profiles are based on credible recommendations that go beyond your pedigree, schooling, and jobs.

We're building a trust graph based on who trusts whom & in what context, ie Who

- would you hack a product MVP w/ over a weekend?
- are designers you trust to benchmark design talent?
- are investors w/ incredible empathy for founders?

Your people recommend their people.⭐️

Some people asked me on Twitter what does a successful cold email to a VC look like? Here's a company we funded who sent us a cold email that I'll highlight (details redacted).

Some thoughts here:

@sarthakgh @TrustedFor_ Very, very interesting candidate for Linkedin disruption

[Michael Seibel @mwseibel]

Now that demo day is wrapping up I'm getting through a backlog of about 1000 emails from non-yc founders who have reached out to me. Three most common mistakes in these emails....

@eriktorenberg This is why I’m interested in @TrustedFor_ , since you don’t know what people really think of their coworkers/investors in LI/AL

We hear dissatisfaction with LinkedIn from our users all the time 🤔

[Anna Gát 🧭 @TheAnnaGat]

I have finally updated my LinkedIn bio to say I am not on LinkedIn. Don't be a platform where this happens.

[Sonia Baschez @SoniaBaschez]

As I get older, saying thank you has gotten more important. Cliche, I know!

We're working to build a network that allows you to praise a designer, marketer, engineer, product person, etc for their work that
1) stays on the person's profile
2) can help other people needing the expertise you're shouting out

We think about this as we continue to try to grow TrustedFor. It’s in these intimate networks that opportunities arise—if you’re able to plug into them when you need to.

[David Spinks @DavidSpinks]

The bigger the town, the more lonely the residents become.

The bigger the social network, the more lonely the members become.

The bigger the office, the more lonely workers become.

Humans are built for small groups but today exist in constantly expanding networks.

[Seth Bannon @sethbannon]

Founders, don't build a company investors want so you can raise money from them.

Build the company YOU want and find investors that happen to want that too.

The longer you work on a product, the more likely you will never stop working on that product.
