The Loop Issue # 10

Keeping you in the loop with Sharesies.

💖 Investing

We partied like it’s 1999

I’m not going to lie, when we had “1999” customers we chucked the Prince classic on.

Sharesies beta has been out for a month and we already have over 2 0 0 0 active customers — that 20% of our year one target achieved in one month! 🙆

Since our last Loop, our key metrics have gone ↑↑↑:

• 5,615 followers on Facebook (↑18%)
• 2,010 active Sharesies customers (↑83%) 🎉

Over the next few weeks we will be focussed on:

1. Rise Conference in Hong Kong
2. Adding new features to our beta
3. Moving to open beta

Hustling

We have a little office! If you’re ever near Wigan St in Wellington please do come say hi 👋.

We’ve been selected to be one of the 10 start-ups that get to pitch at the Pitch Like a Girl event in Hong Kong next week.

Product progress

• Interesting fact — 80% of our customers are under 40 years old.
• We’ve updated some features and have some more launching soon — including portfolio tracking.
