Cherub Beta April 2024 member update

September 20, 2024

Cherub Beta launched a month ago, and the team's been hard at work making improvements to our platform and community. We appreciate you bearing with us as the dust settles and are always open to your feedback. Here's the latest from us for April:

Just launched ~ Dynamic Deal Flow 🚀  

Dynamic Deal Flow is based on the categories you set in your profile

Every Thursday, we'll send you a list of founders or investors on our platform that are most relevant to your interests. Make sure to keep your profile tags up-to-date to get the latest matches. You can find this feature in the Deal Flow section within our navigation. We're continuing to make improvements and add functionality like messaging your matches, showing your deal history and more over the next few weeks.

Next up 👷

  • We are planning a Founder / Funder mixer in NYC for June during New York Tech Week and Foundermade NYC for the week of June 3rd - stay tuned for details!
  • This week, our team is working through some platform bugs to improve the profile editing and viewing experience for our members - to prioritize our existing members' experience and satisfaction, we have limited the amount of founders that can currently join the platform to existing members but continue to onboard more angel investors
  • Once we smooth out the profile experience, we plan on tackling a directory for members to discover each other. We currently have onboarded nearly 300 angel investors and 160 companies with a waitlist of over 5,000.

Our launch piece is live on TechCrunch, and we also got featured as a top activation at SXSW. Our Austin pop up had 1,500+ people come through over 3 days. We had such a blast connecting with so many founders and investors within the Cherub community.
