We’ve released the next version of StartupAgents with some major changes.
Search & Post – Startups can now post open positions and Agents can search through those positions and contact startups directly. Agents can also search through a list of startups and contact the ones they are interested in.
Metrics – We have enhanced our ability to view what is going on in the network. Initially, this will help us serve you better. In the future, we will make some of this data available to you to enhance transparency.
Mail Service Integration – We have integrated with MailChimp, so you can now expect to receive regular emails from us about industry updates and events.
We also integrated with other networks to help keep you informed about StartupAgents and the industry at large. Please connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube.
Like any software it’s not perfect, but sometimes it just time to launch and set the new features free. This reminds me of a video I saw a little while ago…
A few updates were released today.
Import Your LinkedIn Profile
Agents can now import their LinkedIn profile information into their public and private profile. The profile information gathered consists of your summary, work and educational history. You can find the link “Copy profile from LinkedIn” on the grey title bar, when you are on the Edit Profile screen.
View Profile in Search Results
Agents can now see how their profile will look in search results. The link is found in Public Profile View under your Agent Statistics and reads “As seen in search results”. The link is only on your public profile, because only public profile information is seen in search results.
Risk Preferences Descriptions Added
Descriptions have been added to the Stages and Series under Risk Preferences. Now when you select Series A or Beta Test, can learn more about the dynamics of a company in a specific stage or series.
Values Added to Startup Profile
Startups can now express themselves better by selecting the what they value the most at their company environment and in the team members they bring on.
Link Fields Added to Startup Personnel
Rather than fill out a new bio of their management team, board members and advisors, startups can now just link to each persons bio on their company or organization’s site.
On June 25th we updated StartupAgents and want to keep everyone informed on what the new enhancements were. We are planning a few new upgrades next week and will be publishing those shortly. Here are the enhancements made about a month ago:
Multiple Email Alerts – You now have the capability to assign an email alert to each of your saved searches, which you may have up to five.
Values Changed – An agents values section is now more granular to allow them to better communicate the values they hold most dear.
Risk Preferences Added – We have added a Risk Preferences section to an agents profile. You can now see if their risk preferences match with the stage, series and size of your startup.
Headline Added – Agents can now create a headline that will show up as part of the search results. This will hopefully provide a faster searching experience.
Summary Added – We have added a summary section where agents can summarize their experience, skills and personality, to allow you to find a better match.
Explanatory Text Added – We have added more explanatory text around the site to provide for more clarity on how StartupAgents works. You can view much of the information when you click on the Learn More link found on the home page.
We have been working diligently to get new startups and agents onto StartupAgents. Please let us know if you have had success in connecting with any agents. We also welcome your feedback and suggestions at anytime.
