DailyFunder has rebooted its mobile app with a new feature set built around industry events, aiming to keep conference networking alive well after the last session ends. The author lists six frustrations with typical event apps:
- 95% of users stop using them after the event.
- Most are white-labeled from third parties with no customization.
- Visibility is zero-sum; everyone sees you are going or nobody does.
- When a boss buys 10 tickets in one name, team members cannot access the app.
- There is little moderation to limit abuse.
- Redundancy.
Why DailyFunder
The company previously ran a 2018-2023 white-labeled events app, a 2015-2017 white-labeled app and a 2013-2017 white-labeled DailyFunder app. It has now rebooted only the DailyFunder app, moving development in-house. DailyFunder has more than 17,000 members, over 3 million annual page views and sessions averaging more than 10 minutes, which the author says makes it the logical starting point for keeping the party going around the clock.
What the app does
Events can be added whether or not they are affiliated with the company. Users can say whether they are attending, message others planning to attend, follow up afterward, see sponsors and watch video content such as tech demos and red-carpet interviews. The full attendee list is not shown, only people who want to be contacted, and members can use real names or pseudonyms. Fakers can be removed, and users can post on the forum and read industry headlines.
The app is live in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. It is a work in progress with known bugs, and logging in requires an existing DailyFunder account, because registration is still web-only. Planned additions include sponsor cocktail parties and golf outings. Feedback goes to webmaster@dailyfunder.com.
