Some lessons learned & stats would have been nice but it looks more like a rip post , maybe the poster has not closed the chapter yet
8,000 Registered Users (Growth was horrible) +1M people in our database total (after importing friends/connections)
Peak Engagement: 30% MAU 10% WAU Around 0.5% DAU (I think, this last one I'm less sure about)
Our SXSW Service was the most successful, but still not good enough : Signed up 3% of conference goers (As much as Glancee, Highlight signed up 5% of SXSW) 25% of our SXSW users logged in 3 or more times 20% of our users reached out to their matches.
I'll keep thinking through what other stats I can share.
It is interesting where you get some of these genuine reflections and numbers. You see them a lot on post mortems, but every now and then you will hit up a meetup or conference where it happens. Example: Attended the conference of world affairs at CU Boulder last year. It was the end of the day in a relatively empty auditorium. Both Tom Preston-Werner and Eric Wilhelm were giving some great insight into early business operations successes/failures.
