What a great service! We launched our MeetnGreetMe beta some days ago and were wondering how to implement an online reward tool in the shortest time to thank our early adopters (not saying about getting them!) Get Worm is exactly what we need!!! Thank you guys :)

If this completely eliminates the need for me to reach out to my favorite startups on Twitter for early adoption, than I'm all for this. Great concept!!

@mosheimedia Thanks! Our goal is to bring the best offers from the amazing startups all around the world to you. But as you can imagine, it’s a classic chicken & egg situation where startups will get excited to find a growing community of early adopters, while early adopters will be more interested if there are many startups. But with your support, we can make Get Worm to be the most active community of early adopters, and get more startups to offer exciting early bird worms back to you!

I've been using Get Worm since the very early days, and the development they've gone through has been very incouraging. There are a number of companies and products that I have found there, which I haven't seen elsewhere.
I'm hoping they can keep up the good momentum they've built up, and I'm looking forward to seeing where they go from here.
@demattia Thanks for the support and wishes, Johannes.

Had this kinda idea couple of months ago but never got around it. But I'm really glad to see a simple idea of early adopters transformed into a great platform. Great work! Definitely going to give it a try. :)
@navinkulkarni Thanks. I'll pass the message to @sarthakmoghe. He has dozed off now, being in a different time zone.

From one 'Sarthak' to another, congrats on the launch =). I'm an early adopter and always curious about trying out new products/services so signed up but all I see are a bunch of offers to sign up (50% off our 'premium plan' kind of offers)
Perhaps I had a totally different understanding of this, I was thinking more so like Peach etc where you get to try out a new product in alpha/beta stage but this sounds like a marketing platform more than a user-feedback platform. It's nice to see a whole different variety of products/services nonetheless. Goodluck!

@sarthakgrover From "Another Sarthak" to "One Sarthak" Thank you!! :D
To answer your question, although we don't put a restriction on a startup being alpha/beta, most of the startups on Get Worm are in the early stages of their growth.
Now what we thought (with our limited brain capacity) as an early adopter ourselves was "How do we typically try new products, engage with startups and provide feedback?" Some common usage patterns were:
As an early adopter I would:
1. Like to discover products based on my interests > [Hence we create a curated worm feed matching your interests (eg tech, food, photography)]
2. If I find the idea interesting, I would tell the startup about it. And if I like it very much, I will tell my friends about it > [So we introduced "Upvotes" and "Social Sharing"]
3. I may have some questions before joining the startup > [So we let users connect with the startup over "Discussions"]
4. I want that "Early Bird Worm"! > [you know what to do here, hint: it's our platform's name :P]
5. I would love to share my feedback with the product to benefit both the startup and my fellow Early Adopter friends > [Come back and write away on "Discussions"]
Hope this makes sense!
