December Update: Thanksgiving Perks, New team member, Podcast episode, and more
As part of our eighth company update since launching our Republic campaign, we are proud to announce the following updates, news, and milestones.
Berkeley Blockchain Accelerator Fall 2019 Cohort Updates
In our last update in October, we announced that Bounty0x was accepted to the Berkeley Blockchain accelerator, a 12 week accelerator program focusing on Blockchain related projects, helping them succeed by giving them access to the wealth talent and resources that of Berkeley University has to offer. Learn more about the program here.We recently returned from the introductory program week, which was held at the Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology on the Berkeley campus in San Francisco. While there, we met all of the Fall 2019 Cohort teams, received valuable feedback on our product roadmap with some talented advisers and mentors, and attended community events and meetings.
One of the things we are most happy about during our time at Berkeley, was meetings so many students who were eager to get involved and help Bounty0x. We grew our team by adding a new Berkeley Business MBA student intern, Shray Khullar. Over the next few months Shray will be utilizing his prior experience working for leading companies in Artificial Intelligence, and Business Development. He will be developing a business development plan for Bounty0x's new product. The primary goal of his research will be to assess the competitive landspace, strategic opportunities for Bounty0x to set itself apart from competitors, and recommendations for product roadmap and feature set. He will also be assessing how to optimize our product pricing model. We are very excited to have him onboard so we can utilize his expertise and talent.
In December we will be heading back to San Francisco a second time, in order to present our progress for the last week of the accelerator. We will be presenting our latest product updates in front of the Berkeley Blockchain Community.
Bounty0x New Product Updates
We've also been hard at work finalizing user stories, flows, and feature sets for our upcoming product release. Below are a couple rough sketches for profile pages, and analytics.
Republic Campaign Updates
We've recently added new perks on our Republic campaign page which are now available to investors. If you haven't yet done so, checkout the latest perks on our investor page.
We also officially reached 400% of our target fundraising goal! We are quickly approaching the final month of our fundraiser so if you were planning to invest, but haven't invested yet, don't wait any longer!
Media and Other Announcements
We've started a new podcast series, as part of our user research. In this series we are doing short Q and A style audio interviews in order to hear directly from our users, and customers. In order to understand what our users want, what is currently lacking in available competitors, and how we can deliver the best product for their needs. Our first interview will be released next week on our podcast and youtube page. In this upcoming podcast episode, we interviewed a Youtuber named Kraig Adams. If you haven't already heard of him, take a look at his Youtube Channel here. He gave us some valuable insight into how he monetizes his Youtube content and how he works with companies.
We are also awaiting final approval for a grant from Bittorent Foundation. If approved for the grant, we may be incorporating the BTFS protocol for data storage into our product.
In Summary:
Thanks again to all those who have supported us so far, and we look forward to having a successful final month on our Republic campaign!
