Jude has responded to some feedback for Yapplicator
There’s so few programs and finding them is pretty easy, this homepage does nothing to convince me it find unique programs, it also doesn’t have any reason product. For example I’d think it should tell me acceptance rates or how difficult a program is to get into. Just a list of programs I’m already aware of is pointless.
YapplicatorThis feedback misses the point of what Yapplicator is meant to do. We are not here to build another directory of programs that users already know about. If you want better discovery, the value is in surfacing relevant opportunities, explaining eligibility, showing acceptance rates where reliable data exists, and helping users understand their chances. Those are valid points to raise. However, dismissing the product as pointless because the current selection is limited does not help us improve.

Did you even read my feedback? That’s exactly what you’re doing a terrible job of showing, it currently looks like just a directory of obvious programs, so it feels pointless. Instead of being defensive you should read between the lines, what the user sees is top tier / obvious programs. Adding data about acceptance, what’s required, incentives for being accepted, impact of program, and success of prior alumni make this an actual product. I’d also expose smaller programs first and not Google…

Also, I’ve just looked at your pricing, with literally no user outcome proof I doubt anybody will bite. As someone who’s had funded startups I’d say you need to get some people in their as pilots and assure they have some level of success with your product.
