A 'worm' hug to @erictwillis and my fellow PH lovers! Here's our little story on what inspired us to create Get Worm!
As early adopters ourselves, we always get excited to be a part of something we believe in. But what we found that though there are many avenues to promote startups, not many have made attempts to credit one of the most important factors behind successful startups - their early adopters!
Get Worm is our effort to promote early adoption through rewards & recognition. Or in simpler words - Let early bird get the worm!
--
With Get Worm, a startup can come up with creative ways to appreciate their early adopters. For example: skipping the waiting list, profile badges, social mentions, stickers, extra discounts and freemium time.
We did a massive update to the platform a few days ago, and would love to get feedback from the best community of early adopters here on PH! We also need your help in making Get Worm a place that creates value for both Startups and Early Adopters.

And if we are promoting "incentivizing early adoption", we must eat our own dog-food! :) So here is something for our Early Adopters:

@sarthakmoghe@erictwillis@vinnybhaskar@adityamoghe You guys are awesome! With the help of GetWorm, our unknown social media posting tool @kukupost got its first users (and they continue using KUKU.io!). As a reward, we've sent them postcards and cool stickers. We had a lot of fun and everyone loved it! Thank you so much for such a cool platform, your enthusiasm and love you're helping to spread! :)
Thanks @alexstrvinsky. You are awesome as well.
Great to hear that Get Worm was able to help @kukupost get its early bird users. :)
And thanks a lot for being a part of our journey too. For those who don't know, @alexstrvinsky has been a part of Get Worm from the very beginning and has provided us a lot of valuable feedback, immense support and inspiration to help us shape the platform.
And that makes you more than awesome. :)
I'd love to use this on a project I'm working on, but it's a mobile native app that uses phone number (Digits from Twitter) for registration. As such I wouldn't be able to connect the early adopters who sign up for my worm to my user DB to actually reward them.
What's the solution there? Just to email the users and ask for phone number? Any chance you'll add phone number as an Identity data point that you share with startups?
@sammybauch We haven't really given a thought on how to make Get Worm work with phone numbers. What you could possibly do is onboard users to your Mailchimp or Campaign Monitor mailing lists directly from Get Worm and then send the early birds an email with a link to download your app. Adding phone number as a data point to Get Worm sounds good on the surface. However, we would need to dig a bit deeper to understand any privacy concerns the early adopters may have with sharing their phone numbers.

Looks cool. Two technical questions - any plans on letting someone hide Worms (mark as read/hide/seen) whatever? Also, and probably more importantly any way to get an RSS feed? I don't see myself signing in daily, but I go through feedly several times a day. The RSS feature could make or break this for me personally, but probably for some others. Hell it doesn't even have to be personalized, just allow us to subscribe by category.
@pyro979 Thanks Yuriy. And as for your questions:
1. A feed shows only those worms which share the same market as your interests. So that is one filter there. But I understand that having the ability to mark certain worms as read/seen and/or hiding them could lead to a better user experience. I'll put this point on the table :)
2. We are currently working on a smart notification system for the emails that we send. Having an RSS feed on top of that will certainly be helpful for our users. We'll look into that as well.
Thanks for suggesting these ideas. :)
Get Worm rewards early adopters for their critical role in helping a startup "start-up". Startups create exclusive early-bird offers (worms) for users to join them.

GetWorm is an amazing idea and exactly what our startup has been looking for-- but I'm curious, we've been under review for several days now, how long does review generally take?
I'm an early member from one of the first days of this product and for sure, it has come a long way from a small, insignificant platform to something potentially huge. At first it was just fun, I didn't see much chance for this day to come and this to be hunted but hell, it is amazing nowadays. It delivers valuable and cool early-birds. Thanks @erictwillis for hunting it, it means a lot not just for the team but the whole community behind them.
