Curated Connections

Today’s the day I share the biggest update to Curated Connections since our launch 10 months ago - we’ve added a completely new MEMBER DIRECTORY tool to our product! 🎉 It is crazy to me that all the big community platform companies are trying to force AI into their roadmap before creating a member directory that simply allows their members to connect with each other. • “how do i find out other Partnership Professionals who work in B2B SaaS?” • “I’m visiting Singapore for a week. how can i see other designers who live in Singapore?” • “i would love to help other founders here. how can i learn what they’re are working on?” i’m sure you’ve seen these questions as a community creator. Lack of a searchable directory with rich member profiles is arguably the #1 hindrance of engagement in any community. The best you could do to solve this problem was to create a public table in Notion or Airtable. But that came with its own headaches because these tools weren’t meant for communities. That changes today. We’ve created a directory tool that is designed from the ground up to spark engagement in communities. Attaching some images here to show you what it looks like. This is step 2 of our grand plan to become the “Connection Engine” for communities: 1: create a simple but powerful matchmaking tool 2: create a member directory tool designed to spark connections Oh and did i say, both of these are bundled in a single subscription of $29/month. Yep! We’re hell-bent on our “underdog pricing model”. --- We’re slowly rolling out access to this directory to the people on the waitlist over the month of June. So if you want to give your members the directory that they’ve been asking for, sign up here - https://lnkd.in/gt3-RH4h

ITS LIVE!! The new design of Curated Connections website is live! 😍 If you remember our old site, this one will not feel familiar. The old one was, let's say.. organically grown. We kept adding to our MVP landing page as we built more features in the product. But this year, I wanted to make Curated Connections "drop dead gorgeous". Why prioritise it at this early stage of the business when we have many other competing items on the product roadmap? Well, I wrote an essay about this decision on my personal blog. But TLDR: I've come to realise that beautiful design is not just making things pretty, it's a multiplier of productivity itself. Because beautiful tools inspire beautiful work. And I want our customers to do their best work with Curated Connections. So we set out to rebuild the design system for the app from the ground up. We're doing it in 2 phases. Phase 1 went live today and phase 2 will go live this month. More on that soon...
