Created Sedventures

Sedventures is an investment program on top of FindCollabs.

The goal is to solve the FindCollabs chicken-and-egg problem by investing in projects on the platform.

No idea if this will work and would love your feedback on it!

    Very cool! How much are you planning to invest in people's projects?

    Some UX feedback: It's a bit hard for me as someone who doesn't use FindCollabs to understand what's going on on this page. In this early state, it's not obvious that it's a page for a collaborative project.

    I'm not sure how important these pages are to your growth, but if they're part of the critical path for word-of-mouth growth and users sharing with each other, it might be worth giving them a slight design update. Sites like GitHub and Kickstarter do a good job telling you what a particular project is about, front-and-center on the page. Might be worth taking a page out of their playbook?

    (That said, it's much easier to tell what's happening on more advanced projects on FindCollabs, e.g. this one.)

    EDIT: Also, the sidebar looks weird on a big monitor, because its left padding is set to be 5% of the total screen width (5vw). It should probably just be a fixed width, like 1rem or something:

      The Sedventures idea is getting vetted right now to make sure I have the right terminology therein. After that I'm gonna give it a more friendly UX than just the Google Doc.

      That margin does look off. Thanks for adding that screenshot, I'll fix it up.
