Launched v2 of the platform

September was spent rebuilding the marketplace to support our new exclusive focus on partial buyouts in moving away from full acquisitions completely. We also integrated new functionality based on user requests and accumulated feedback. These features include authentication, memberships, in-app chat functionality between users on the platform, website forms for founders to list their business and professionals to make their profile, and automating data entries into our CMS. On top of that, we rejigged our visual identity to (try) make the website look more inviting and trustworthy. Our traffic in the past 28 days is at 1K visitors.

The concept of our idea is best conveyed and understood via our 10-tweet twitter storm (https://twitter.com/bitsfordigits/status/1445161321880768512?s=20).

But to show rather than tell, our current product is also demonstrated in a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlmTUzV2pAk).

Our next step is finding superusers and applying a hyperfocus on their wants and needs. After taking down business listings with 100% equity for sale by founders who were not interested in staying invested in their company, we are now down to 36 members signed up to find new business partners. Our goal now is to nail down our product offering and value proposition in collaboration with the community by building in public.
