First Showcase: #FreedomToExpress Launch of Expin.me, An Expression Platform

We are a start-up from Bangalore, glad to announce launch of our beta yesterday. . 

The journey from Alpha to Beta was a good 10 months and 11 days. Learnt a lot from you all at different startup forums. We do cherish the pain, agony, learning’s and fun as a start-up with limited resources. One of the key salient point was UX efforts were totally underestimated. There are still lot of stuff to learn across the board. The journey was full of surprises, just search “Expin.me Story” on Google. 

Special thanks to Ravi Gururaj , Rajinish Menon , and Sunil Rao who added immense confidence in us when they picked us for first prize at startup contest at ‪#‎Disruptit‬ organized by IIMB & Nasscom. It was followed Google Picking us for Launchpad and being part of NASSCOM 10K.

After successful EarlyAdopter Program with 3000+ users ,we decided mid of December  that we would launch Beta on Expin.me on 26th Jan.  It all comes to great end or I am lying may be beginning:) after tiring 30 days of long work.

It is a dedication to our Fundamental Right to Freedom of Speech and Expression. Yesterday, 26th January,2015 under the title of #FreedomToExpress was Expin.me Beta was Launched.

  1. rakesh – many congrats!

    i think storytelling is the BIG THING!!

    neat video (i would’ve cut short a few quotes – it gets a tad long – but that’s just me!!) 

    I LOVE THE EXPINING PART – making it a verb! i do that with rodinhooding ALL THE TIME!!! 

    i so loved the content you have – especially sanjay’s rap – too bad we couldn’t embed it here…

    it’s interesting how your community can be open and secret as well (so do you have “inner circles” with your friends only, also?)

    all the best – may the force be with you!! building & running a platform/community of any kind is A LOT HARD WORK!!!

  2. Thanks for the complements.
    We should check why embeds didn’t work as it does with tumbler, blogspot and other websites.
    You can create your secret group or closed group by inviting people via email. Check https://Expin.me/groups for more details.

  3. hey rakesh, 

    what’s been the initial response? how many users? do update us when you can!
