3,000 Users on Kernal

Our Kern.al team got some pretty cool news this week. We asked our users to help spread the word to hit 2,000 users and they went above and beyond and we actually hit 3,000 users (with the help of some new indiehackers joining)!

If that’s not a community that shows up, we don’t know what is. Here's some other community updates we've been tinkering on:

Community Updates:

👀 New ideators that joined the club this week: Andrew Gazdecki(Microaquire founder), Eric Bahn (Hustle Fund Co-founder), Joshua Voydik (Swell Commerce Founder), and Camellia Yang (Founder of Y Media).

#️⃣ We rocketed past 3,000 beta users and over 500 startup ideas. If you haven’t posted a startup idea yet, now’s your time. P.S. We’re noticing that ideas with photos are getting a lot of attention. Try it out 🚀

💼 Tiffany Zhong, founder & CEO of Islands, is building the “Shopify for Creators”. She’s working with the biggest celebrities in the world and is on the hunt to hire multiple roles like senior frontend engineers, senior designer and chief of staff. Interested? Drop her an email.

Product Updates

👋 Say hello to Kern.al followers! We’ve exposed the number of followers and following for all users. When you post an idea, your followers get notified to chime in. So far the front runner to beat is Shaan Puri with 610 followers.

🔍 Coming soon: Improved search for ideas and users. You’ll soon be able to discover great startup ideas and fellow Kernalers more easily with an improved search across the platform. Keep your eyes peeled for when the update drops.

📣 We’re looking to feature more female and non-binary entrepreneurs on the platform that have plenty of startup ideas to share. Send any all-stars you know our way by dropping me a DM on twitter (@joel_hansen_)
