Love this concept & congrats @julianweisser @eriktorenberg 👏 Question - How will you keep the amount of referrals manageable for the investors/entrepreneurs receiving inquiries? I assume well known investors will get a wave of referrals.
Julian Weisser
@eriktorenberg @stvmcg thanks Steve, it’s been a long while - great to see you on here! We have a number of methods to detect spam or people who submit poor quality referral requests. In pre-launch beta and since launching here we’ve luckily had largely super thoughtful high-quality referral requests. We’re not worried about volume of submissions investors receive, only the quality—as long as the referral requests they receive are great investors will be grateful to get them.

The team at Via is building something really really cool — I was an early beta tester and it's been awesome to have a place to send talented folks to when they're looking for ideas on the next step in their career. If you're talented and looking for the place to take the next big step in your career, here are the companies I'd recommend (and would be happy to connect you with): http://via.beondeck.com/tylerwillis

@tylerwillis 🙏 thank you Tyler. I wanted to take a moment and acknowledge how supportive you have been to me and other founders I know. You're one of the most conscientious and helpful angel investors in tech and I'm grateful to have you as a friend. Folks reading this: Tyler is brilliant at seeing the genius in people/ideas earlier than most - if you're looking for your next thing you should 100% go look at the companies he can refer you to as many are current or future breakouts.
