What the Community Said

Here's an experiment we're running: Backchannel references as a service → Pay money, get a reference. → Give a reference, get paid (as long as your reference is desired) (If you're seeking a reference, you only pay if we find you someone you want to talk to.) The first experimental product that solves this problem: https://twitter.com/eriktorenber... Open to feedback!

The bounty model is clever. I'm curious if people are willing to pay enough for references, especially if they expect to be able to reach references for free by searching LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. I suppose it depends on who you're targeting – growth stage investors, PE firms, hedge funds, etc. pay a ton of money for AlphaSights, GLG, Tegus, etc.

Congratulations on the launch. How do you address the issue of incentives regarding money? Are reviews for money involved? A review system? Is there already feedback?

Strategy idea: offer this up for both sides on LinkedIn
