@antdke Here is an earlier Quora answer I wrote about this, https://www.quora.com/How-can-ma..., but thanks for flagging this -- we should explain it in more detail soon.
@antdke Also, this article by Fred Daso explains it really well, https://www.forbes.com/sites/fre....
A few things to add @vnovakovski, in the UI of Firesides: 1. A sentence about what to expect next. For example: an email will be sent to you with the link to the livestream one day before the event. 2. Add to calendar feature. Both should be super easy and fast to implement ;)
@helenaronis great feedback! On the calendar side, we do already do this, wonder why it didn't work? cc @jacob_willemsma2
@jacob_willemsma2 @vnovakovski I guess I didn't add to my calendar in the registration/confirmation page, so I went to the Lunchclub web app to find the event so I can add to calendar and the button doesn't exist there?
We are excited to announce Firesides on Lunchclub! With Firesides, you can learn from domain experts in a virtual session — think of it as an interactive Reddit AMA or Quora Session. Based on your Lunchclub profile and question for the host, you may get selected to join the panel discussion, or can watch along.
The next Fireside is with none other than @rrhoover this upcoming Friday! Sign up to ask Ryan your product questions here: https://lunchclub.ai/fireside-ryan
👏🏾 Well done, team LC! I've attended three firesides so far and can attest they really provide an intimate and honest conversation with great guests. Excited for Ryan's this week!
Enjoying these. Would love if there was a opportunity to network post the events in curated groups (in Zoom rooms or such like). Though I think that might be on your radar already.
I’ve attended two fireside chats and was impressed with the caliber of guests. Lucy Guo has been my favorite so far- what a badass! Keep up the good work and thanks for bringing these discussions to your audience in real time!
@alinatrach Great to hear! @lucy_guo we have gotten that feedback a lot about your Fireside, maybe you should do a follow-up one sometime!
@alinatrach @vnovakovski Aww thank you, y'all are so sweet. Vlad's done a great job bringing in high caliber guests. I'm excited for the next few. :)
Love your work @vnovakovski and team! I attended my first Fireside and thought it was brilliant. Lunchclub was already the future of networking, but now looks like they've extended it to panel discussions, too!
I may be in the minority here, but I've found the first 3 fireside chats to be really tone-deaf. Every chat seems to be a flex of the VC lifestyle and some self-promotion of the guest's own ventures. Perhaps setting and communicating out a theme to each fireside could help address this by setting expectations of what to expect and adding a little structure to the conversations?
@daitee let us know if there are other hosts outside of VC and startups you'd prefer to see going forward! As far as themes, we have tried that before, but seems like it's better to keep it open-ended and let people talk about what's top of mind. Your point on structure is spot-on, we will soon have a clear playbook for the hosts and moderators to follow.
I honestly think this is the future of networking given the current situation and changes
that we have seen this year so far.
@kleaklass This is an intentional product decision, since if you have too many objectives, that's less signal. But we hear you!
@amit_bhalla1 Hadn't seen Superpeer before, just checked it out -- looks cool, but more like Earn.com or Clarity. Lunchclub Firesides are not paid and the reason the hosts do them are more (1) to help others (2) meet up-and-coming people in their field and (3) promote their brand to our broader audience. And, an important difference is that our Firesides are not 1:1 (our core product is 1:1).
@amit_bhalla1 Interesting. Could see Superpeer working well in the fitness space in particular. Though for startups, it reminds me of Clarity.
I’ll definitely sign up for this. I am curious - how do you get speakers to join for the
firesides? Any sort of incentives that are provided to them?
@stevesparks There are a few reasons: 1) to give back to their community generally; 2) to meet up and coming people in their field (selected by our AI); 3) great for their brand generally to get high quality content seen by our entire user base.
What a great way to engage your audience @vladyyordanov! Excited for #firesidefriday with lunchclub.
@melissa_reffel Awesome! But I think you tagged the wrong Vlad ;)
@vnovakovski I have tried getcuppa yes. Just signed up to lunchclub and have my first chat Thursday. Biggest differentiator is that getcuppa is focusing on the maker/entrepreneur market only.
Awesome!! I love Lunchclub, and Firesides is an excellent addition. Great job Vlad and team.
