Interesting concept. How will you differentiate from easy does it options - e.g. facebook, twitter etc? (i can see some benefits such as being able to curate a timeline but why would founders be motivated to creating content separately for Fireup?) Perhaps, if it were a solution where one could curate a timeline from pre-existing content (a startups twitter feed or medium posts or instagram or all) then it may motivate me personally.

@nidhi_v_shandilya Hi Nidhi... Thank you for your feedback. Facebook and Twitter is more for branding/selling purposes. Can you show anyone a FB or Twitter link to tell someone your startup story ? Also curating from pre-existing sources is something we are thinking about ! Thanks again.. really appreciate the feedback !

@nidhi_v_shandilya Hey Nidhi, glad you find it interesting. The main differentiation we feel is that, as a founder, when i interact with other founders, investors, prospective employees etc, the first thing everyone is interested is knowing what is my startup and whats the backstory behind it. Thats where the value would come in as I would not be able to share facebook, twitter or any other social handle for the user to specifically follow my journey. About creating separate content, we have seen a lot of founders opening up to the platform and posting about pivots, failures, bounce backs etc. Apart from a curated timeline, I think recording all these small things that have made up the culture of the startup can be a motivation. Completely agree with the your recommendation of curating from pre-existing content. We are currently working on twitter integration, but had not considered Medium yet, but adding it to our plan. Thanks so much for your insights :)

It's a nice idea and a fun way to show a startups journey. I'd love to see milestones highlighted and with maybe some icon. Filtering by this milestones would be nice as well.

@germancastano Hey German, thanks for the ideas. We did get some feedback today about some milestones being more important than the others and that we should have a way to highlight the important ones somehow. Currently we are using hashtags for clubbing similar updates to timeline, but adding filtering for viewing the important milestones will surely bring value to readers who don't want to go through a long time. Thank you so much for this suggestion. We will surely add it in our plan for next build.

@rahul_rane Maybe you could think about your tool as an alternative for journalists to know about a startup that they would like to write about, besides you could add a link to the press kit too.

@germancastano Thats an excellent point about the press kit. That would be very helpful indeed. We thought briefly about how journalists can find the startups better on fireup, but having press kits if definitely a good first step to start attracting them to know about any specific startup. Loved the suggestion. You are awesome !

Hi Dipti and Rahul... Congrats for getting up in PH. Seriously, it is an interesting and useful tool if used properly by the users. Just one problem - when at first, you start adding a card, the calendar doesn't show dates below 23. But after adding the card, during 'editing' it works. And currently, the timeline problem mention by @Bryan is resolved while adding. But it still exist in older timelines by users. Just letting you know. Just one question - What makes you set apart from ProductMap, Creators Log and MockFlow? Dipti its great to see TechStory kicking in and Rahul Rane - Thanks for remembering me :)

@obthinks @bryan Hey Omkar, glad you found it interesting. thanks for pointing out the calendar bug, we could debug it and fixing. About differentiation, I think the ux execution, social interaction on each update, embedding individual updates within blogs and websites are a few points.

@cp_1402 Thanks Chandra. Glad you tried it out and appreciate your feedback. We are working on video support - both upload and embedding from youtube/vimeo onto the cards and planning to roll out by september.

What a lovely idea, and so beautifully executed too. For what it's worth I think the timeline is the right way up - most recent at the top. I'm definitely signing up.

This is looking great, guys! As an editor, I'd love to see this embeddable in content that'd appear on my own site. Kind of like a cooler Crunchbase sidebar.

@gasiorekm Thanks Michael :) The timeline as well as all individual cards are embeddable. Simply clicking the ' <> ' icon next to the timeline will pop up the embed code. There is one embedded in the footer here just for reference > http://www.megavenues.com/new-york

Hi All, Our product enables you to record your startup journey in the form of a beautiful interactive timeline. There is so much that goes on in building a startup and all this information is not recorded anywhere. We wanted a handy link to share our startup journey with other startups, investors or even our family. So we created Fireup ! Here is an example of how a timeline would look > https://letsfireup.com/beatz/tim... https://letsfireup.com/megavenue... Simply click on Create Timeline on top right to try it out. Let us know your thoughts.
