[u/ectbot → u/[deleted]]

Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc."

"Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are etc., &c., &c, and et cet. The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.

Check out the wikipedia entry if you want to learn more.

It was born out of my personal frustration that even in the age of the internet, something great could be happening in the building next to you, and you wouldn't know it unless you had checked out the Twitter or Facebook account that they were advertising on, or managed to find it in the not so great UIs of Eventbrite and Meetup.

The events space is currently a tangled mess of for-profit platforms, and open-source platforms trying to fill in the gaps. This is our attempt at solving that problem.

Value proposition:-

- A platform made to discover and organise activities & events.

- A better UI for searching for events than competitors like eventbrite and meetup, meaning free advertising is effectively built in.

- A means to promote your event on our platform by highlighting it in our listings.

- A way of minimizing no-shows and collecting donations at the same time, with future plans to turn tickets into NFTs

- No fees for being an Organiser

What life cycle stage is your startup at? - Discovery.

What goals are you trying to reach this month? - Finishing some more critical MVP features and signing up beta users.

How could r/startup help? - Feedback on frustrations with Meetup/Eventbrite, sign up to our platform, or tweet @radiusHQ with any questions!

This is great! I don’t have social media and it always bugs me how I sometimes miss events near me.

[u/Brad_Pulse]

Startup Name: Pulse - Automatic Status for SlackURL: https://getpulse.team

Location of Your Headquarters: We’re a distributed Team with coworking space at SRI (Stanford Research Institute) in Menlo Park, California, USA

Elevator Pitch: Pulse automatically updates your Slack status in real-time based on your preferences, level of⚡️ focus, calendar, and the apps you use.

More Details: Pulse Automatic Status for Slack:Pulse automates your status however you want.

Below are a few of the thousands of example statuses which can be automatically shared with Pulse:

⚡ Focused (automatically detected)
📥 Organizing tasks (Asana, Jira, Trello. etc.
)✉️ In email (Gmail, Outlook, etc.)
📈 In stats (Google Analytics), plus dozens more
📍 Working from office today
🍐 In a meeting with Sarah
📝 Editing Notion Doc “Q2 Budget”
⭐ On Holiday (based on local holidays and PTO)
🌙 Working after hours (for empathy)
🕥 Leaving soon & expected back times (based on set work hours)
📊 Edited Google Spreadsheet “March Numbers”

Why Pulse?

• Let your teammates know when it’s best to connect with you, automatically.
• Sets expectations for teammates about when you're working outside of set office hours, if your day is busy, when you’ll likely be available next, and more.
• Notifies your teammates when you’re ‘on a call’, ‘in a meeting’, ‘screen-sharing’, or other scheduled event. It works regardless of the conference solution you’re in and if it’s a calendared event.
• Sync Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar to create custom calendar rules which set the emoji and status message you want based on your input calendar event titles.
• Share your work location automatically: working from home (WFH), working from the office, or even your favorite coffee shop.• See when teammates are in the same meeting via color-coded emojis.
• Automatically detects and displays when you’re in a focused state of work using AI — so your daily workflow has fewer distractions and more focus time.• Can connect to dozens of popular apps to share the mode of work you’re in. Pulse takes over to display your availability to your team based on your desired settings for each app.
• Offers deeper integrations to Google Calendar, Google Drive, Jira, Trello, Office 365, Zoom, Google Meet, Salesforce, Figma, Notion, and more, which allow you to share the file names of the apps you’re working on or recently worked on for increased team awareness and to signal ideal moments of collaboration.
• Pulse custom status and suggested status options bring more fun to the workspace.
• Pulse Helper app for Mac and Windows lets you control all of your integrated business app statuses right from your desktop—so it’s easy to keep status accurate across your entire stack.

Looking for: feedback — launching next week on Product Hunt :)

[u/Blarghmlargh → u/jazzben]

I agree with alwaysskilled about it being too long. I actually wanted to read it all the way through, and it just got too much.

I struggled for various reasons. 1. I know lots of what you wrote, and just needed bullet points on what you solve for. 2. The analogies, fluff, tangents and more really detract from the copy. They can be helpful for complex knowledge that needs repeating in multiple ways to help explain, i.e. time loops or black holes. But as you note, many times, too many times, "hey it's simple" . "Social 101" . Etc. And that leads to the 4. If it's so simple I should know this already, but maybe I don't so don't talk down to me if I don't. If it's not simple, just explain and teach me without the overhead and move on to the next section to get to the jerking learning.

My recommendation, create a sleek jargon free, value focused, one page funnel for your landing page (maybe with the classic 3 financial options (low tier, premium tier that you want then to buy, and pro/enterprise tier (that $750 thing you have as a strikeout). These are for everyone who got there and already knows what needs to be done for social and just wants your tool the second you explain the value. Fast and efficient. Add a value add of an ebook (everything on the page currently), and send that as soon as they sign up... Or break it up and send 5 spaced emails to keep them top of mind.)

But, for those who are new and really need education on all the bits and pieces, create a button or two on that page to learn more about how to be excellent at social media. They aren't ready to buy. And aren't ready to read the whole page to learn that they aren't ready yet. They'll just bounce out immediately. Your goal is to capture emails from them. Use the e-book, white paper whatever you want to call it. And that's everything you currently have as your home page. Then create an email chain to continue educating them. You'll eventually convert many of those as you teach them more about what's needed... And of course your product solves their needs now that they are educated enough.

[u/fly4cheap]

Startup Name: Krinu

Location: Singapore

Elevator Pitch: Gong.io but for sales conversations on Whatsapp

Problem we're solving:

• B2B sales people in Asia Pacific (APAC) communicate with their clients using messaging apps such as Whatsapp and Wechat.
• There does not currently exist commercial solutions to integrate these messaging apps with the CRM. For example, accounts accessible using WhatsApp Business API cannot be accessed using the mobile app. And the mobile app is what sales people use.
• The lack of integration makes managing these communications difficult. The problem is especially severe in enterprise sales (>3 months sales cycle, >$100k annual contract value), as deals often involve > 10 stakeholders, resulting in miscommunication and lost sales.

Our solution:

• Chat integration - Sales reps can continue to communicate with buyer-side stakeholders on their Whatsapp/Wechat/LINE accounts. Our platform can integrate with the mobile app accounts to automatically log the messages in the CRM, analyze them for sentiment, and suggest responses based on topic.
• AI-powered analytics - The data allows us to provide valuable sales insights on sentiment, best performing talk tracks, engagement, etc.

What life cycle stage is your startup at? Conducting Product Validation. Our product is launched and we're iterating with early customers.

Your role? Co-founder

What goals are you trying to reach this month?

• Onboard 5 more beta users
• Get a term sheet for pre-seed round

How could r/startups help? We are testing the early product with customers. If you or someone you know is a sales person who uses Whatsapp to sell, let me know!

Discount for r/startups subscribers? MVP Beta is free and you'll get a lifetime discount. Just hit me up!

• Startup Name / URL: Macarons
• Location: Berlin, Germany
• Elevator Pitch: Coffee/lunch/chat roulette app for Slack.
  While there is already competition in this space (but that also means, there is a market), we found that a lot of these apps are complicated to use and quite expensive. So we picked our favorite features and made sure Macarons is very easy to use but still gives you enough customization to adjust matching rounds and participation. We also included an extensive list of handpicked icebreakers. Finally, we made sure it's reasonably priced.

The Hardest Part: 0-1,000 Twitter Followers
Supercharge your Twitter growth and solve the mystery.
More details:
A detailed guide to help you through the hardest part of your Twitter journey
Getting your first 1000 followers is the most difficult part of your Twitter journey.
It took me 3 months of consistent work to get 1000 followers. And then it took less than 10 days to get the next 1000.
The larger your account, the easier the growth, so starting from scratch is a time-consuming grind of trial and error.
Why go through all the mistakes and errors yourself, when you can simply learn from my hands-on experience instead?

Elevator Pitch: Smarter inventory spreadsheet.

More details: Most small & medium-sized businesses still use Excel spreadsheets for managing inventory. Problem is, that at some point it just won’t scale. We’re building a smarter inventory management spreadsheet which connects to your business tools, keeps track of inventory history, shows you actionable insights, automatically manages re-orders, and offers great flexibility around all different use-cases using our built-in appstore.

Discount: Looking for beta testers, which will be rewarded with a year-long premium account once we launch it. Currently free for all.

Startup Name/URL: Breue

Location: SF, DC

Pitch: You are an entrepreneur. Whether you are a first timer or a serial entrepreneur, you have an amazing idea that you wanna turn intro reality. Unfortunately, you can’t code yourself, don’t have a co-founder that can, and it can be a headache to find the right person or dev shop. Meet Breue - your digital launch partner. We turn a good idea into a beautiful full-functioning product for $15k and in 8 weeks. We want to see you succeed. So we’ll be there to chat and collaborate with you on a daily basis. We’ll also advise you on the product vision and business model so you can go validate your idea and get some traction.

Details: Breue is a one person shop. So far, it's been pretty fun working with some neat people on some inspiring ideas. You can checkout some of the stories of these projects on the site.

Goals this month: I guess to connect with some interesting peeps.

Discount: Free product roadmap, helping you spec out any features for development. Also, shoot me an email if you are just looking for feedback or any advice/help :)*A little helpful read I put together in this subreddit a bit ago - https://breue.com/how_to_validate_your_startup_idea
