Apart from job searching why would anyone care what startups are specifically based in their area?
The overwhelming majority of startups are destined to fail because they're bad businesses so why is it important to connect with a startup vs any other company?
- acquainted 12y agoHi, benologist! The area-specific feature goes beyond just where the startups are based. We focus on companies that offer a unique product or service primarily to people in their area. Think Instacart or Postmates, before the expansions. Why? We feel that with the boom of neat startups across the US and further, people in the same area are sometimes the last to find out! The broadcast is far and wide and often ends up circling back to the locals, as opposed to beginning with them. Acquainted aims to create an easier way to connect new businesses and their surrounding customers. Hope this helps!
- benologist 12y agoIs this kind of like ProductHunt where people join not to solve a specific need but to see what's out there, as a lead generation service?
- acquainted 12y agoWe don't consider Acquainted to be a lead generation service, rather a platform for rallying awareness and engagement for new businesses that uniquely enrich the community.
