Big Things Are Happening At Bunch

When you start building a new product as a startup, you always try to be quick and prove out assumptions with MVPs. Sometimes, when things move faster or go differently than planned, the MVP can turn into a product before you know it. You may not even have time to keep up and help it mature. When we launched Bunch in November 2020, we promised our users the best learning experience and we want to invest more in delivering on this promise.

The AI Coach we’ve shared with you all these past months was an MVP — born in a few creative conversations and a few Whatsapp groups we have been “playtesting” with — so we didn’t really think much about how successful it would be. Or how it would need to serve the over 20,000 leaders who have downloaded it since.

We hoped we would find folks like you all who are excited as we are about the future of collaboration and leadership. But since launch we basically had no time to revisit our architecture. As we grew our base of leaders, we started to notice that what works for an MVP or early-stage product…doesn’t necessarily scale to larger audience size. And we have big plans so…

We want to invest more into making our AI Coach scalable, nurturing its ability to grow, and making it the world’s best learning experience for our users.

So that’s why we decided… 🥁🥁🥁
