This could be the case somewhere, I am yet to do the complete validation, but we had over 150 people subscribe to upcoming and 400/600 people click signup. So I was assuming the problem was somewhere in the onboarding. https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/sieve-pro

Thanks, got it! will get back to you soon.

Yes, I've explained the concept behind that thought process in a different thread here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15733157

(I'll work on the first comments) About the last part, how much is the time delay in getting the NDAs signed back? also I've tried taking the requirements over phone/email, but I it usually end up with multiple exchanges while with sieve you can get it all done in one go. Can you please take a quick look at this video, and send a feedback on the requirement collection process? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7wAeenBe-c

It was a part of our lean method :) We actually had tons of questions and branches there before, and using typeform helped us launch faster.

Working on this, thanks. Here is a quick raw video btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7wAeenBe-c here is a quick demo profile btw https://bighead.sievehq.com/

Noted, working on the trail :)

Working on the feedback right now. FYI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7wAeenBe-c

Got it :) working on a new onboarding flow.

I don't think so. All of the things you explained below takes at least a week in real life to complete. To and fro emails to get the requirement right, using DocuSign to sign NDAs, then setting up a call. While with Sieve PRO all of this happens right away.

About equity, we've already raised an angel round, so I think it creates some value, but now I think we need to convey this better to the audience.

Noted, we are working on this as we speak. Here is a quick video (raw) if you are intrigued https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7wAeenBe-c

Yes, but tons of other people dropped without any information.

We've pulled the program at the moment.

It's embedded in the typeform.

Noted, will completely rework on the copy.

Thanks for the story, in fact, looking back, I feel quite foolish to ask too much information in one go :D The gist of the story is very interesting, but in our current scenario I don' really have a way to reach the folks who dropped off, that's why I came to HN. I'll be exploring the other points you noted, and work on them.

Noted, we'll be reworking the home page completely and about the signup flow. We are already working on the video as we speak. Here is raw demo if you are intrigued https://drive.google.com/open?id=11uAP1oNm7HzLo3q9fHiAXheFg6...

I think I never thought about it that way, I thought it like we help freelancers appear more professional like a company. Many freelancers don't have a clear process in place like a company do, to onboard clients, collect requirements etc.

I'll work on the copy real soon.

Thanks, the whole development was another experiment where we tried building the whole key features in 6 weeks. I strongly believe that we can make this product a lot better over time, that's why I used "decent" as it's not the best we can in the current form.

Noted, working on this feedback :) Do you think you'd give the credit card info if the money was refundable without any questions?

I think so, we are reworking on the whole homepage and working on these as we speak. The Elite 100 was removed after the program flopped. I've given a brief about what the program was in earlier comments.

Noted every one of this feedback. During the product hunt launch, we had most of the information and a gif explainer in the PH page. We are working on a video demo of whole product as we speak. I am just adding a raw video here quickly. Would love some feedback here too :) https://drive.google.com/open?id=11uAP1oNm7HzLo3q9fHiAXheFg6...

Thanks for the feedback. I am not sure about the spending capacity of the freelancer, but I think there are quite a good number of folks who make decent money. For those people, onboarding the clients, requirement collection, NDAs etc are a pain point. Eventually, we'd also automate the agreements, invoices, and payments to directly reach their bank accounts.

I am reworking on the typeform real soon. Thanks :)

Thank you. The feedback definitely helps. We are working on a demo video as we speak. Since the elite 100 was not successful we removed the whole thing from the page. I've explained in the previous comment what the program was like.

Thanks, Makes sense. Before we were asking $348 ;-) but then our program was that we'd giveaway shares for the first 100 people. The whole thought process behind that was,

We are a small team of hustlers wanting to build the best experience for freelancers to work with their clients. Soon in our journey, we realized building a startup is a lot of work, and it’s hard to focus on multiple areas. This is why we’ve launched the Elite 100 program and opening our platform to only 100 users for the first 6 months. We’ll not focus on growth, but only to serve the 100 users in the best way.

It was also deep-rooted in my conviction that the disparity between the rich and everyone else is larger than ever in the United States and the rest of the world. I believe a company working with masses should also give everyone a share of the benefits gained, this aligns with my personal mission as well, I’ve been working with communities for many years (and even in my personal capacity https://www.facebook.com/COD3BOY/posts/10155519455529473) and I believe the real success happens when we have a lot of people coming together on a mission and everyone is benefitted. By giving away 100,000 shares of our company we stand by that, and says when we are successful everyone who were with us will be benefited too.

Thank you for all the feedback. I'll go through all of them one by one.

About validation, we launched on upcoming a month ago with a landing page https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/sieve-pro and had over 150 people subscribe.

Maybe it's about giving it time, we only launched on product hunt 2 days ago :)

I was particularly intrigued by what happens between clicking signup and then dropping off, we had 400 out of 600 people click signup and then drop off.

Got it! I was thinking of creating a solution for mobile app freelancers at first. Thanks for this suggestion!

Got it. I'll work on the description to make it clear :-)
