Pay money, get a private back-channel reference. Apply to give a private reference, get paid once your background is approved. Learn more at: https://www.backchannel.reviews/about
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!
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?
Excited to test this out on both sides of the backchannel market you’ve created @eriktorenberg — super cool concept!
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.
It is an awesome tool that eases the process for reference,
It'll be good if tool have filters,
Very interesting concept - I'm just wondering: Why do you want to build a completely new platform instead of just connecting to / building on top of LinkedIn?
Because imo the key for a working referral platform is that everyone you want a Referral to/from is on there. T
hat's already given for linkedIn so maybe you can find a way to leverage that?
