instudies.com: surviving habraeffect

Just over a month ago, we told Habra the story of the creation of our startup instudies.com , which, it seems to us, caused quite a strong interest among the local readers. That day we experienced the so-called habraeffect, having received together with it a pack of interesting experience and various statistical data, about which the further story will go.

Recall that our project is aimed at organizing the learning process.

Since the publication of the following:

- we drew the attention of investors who offered to invest in the project from 50 to 100 thousand dollars (we refused, because we need a little more);
- we found like-minded people (other startups with whom we exchange experience);
- we have attracted a mentor to the project, who also promises to help with attracting investment (more precisely, he came to us himself);
- one of the leading news portals in Moldova interviewed us;
- we got a normal bug tracker, which we didn’t have before;
- we try new methods of work, enjoy feedback from users, correct errors and have already come up with 1000 and 1 ways to make our service better;

Summing up, we can safely say that the publication on Habré gave us a powerful impetus to the development of the project, to which we are very grateful. We welcome your comments, questions and suggestions!
