Now that we've implemented a new search engine and the deal exchange, we thought it would be a good time to ask for your feedback on your experience within the Searchfunder community. What works well? What could be better, different or new? Many of the features we have today were created in response to the feedback of our community members. So, feel free to post a comment below or send me a DM through Searchfunder. Thanks for taking the time to share input to make the community better for everyone.

Karen,
The biggest upside to the site for me is the people you have attracted. It's a niche network and creates a dialogue opportunity available outside of LinkedIn or site that might have some other social networking "rules."

The biggest con for me so far is the user interface. (Maybe this will show itself to be one of the strengths over time?) Funnels to help people find each other and also progress on deals in a clear cut path? For example, "ABC Individual is interested in your deal." What is the next step?

Does this mean they want to watch your progress? Does it mean they have the same deal and are using you for comparison? Does it mean they want to invest and all they need is wiring info?
I know that networking is the number one key and maybe the site will never be designed to help two parties get that far down the path but it could be an interesting idea to pursue.

All in all, keep up the good work!

Overall the platform works. Being able to communicate directly with others without the use of email is beneficial. The layout is somewhat not user friendly at first but positive it will evolve over time as well. A few weeks back, I brought up a deal exchange issue which as of today has not been resolved so the support piece could use some help. I check the timeline and exchange once a day, just nothing engaging enough to keep active throughout the day. There are a lot of good people here too! Again, it works and is evolving which is good. Just an idea... take a look at BiggerPockets and see how their site evolved. Maybe it could expand the searchfunder site abilities to have more people actively involved. Thank you for providing the resource.
