    "body": "<p><ul><li><b>Email - </b>This is what founders use most often today to update stakeholders. People hate writing them, and they hate receiving them, but it's hard to beat for simplicity.<br></li><li><b>Workplace Messaging (e.g., Slack)</b>&nbsp;- OK, messaging platforms like Slack beat email for simplicity and they're red hot for good reason. This is the easiest way to notify employees of updates and news \"in the moment\", but it's not a great way to organize information about the company for internal and external stakeholders alike.</li><li><b>Internal Wiki </b>-&nbsp;Confluence is the corporate wiki we see most often, and we'll see more Slack-based wikis like this one from <u>Howdy.ai</u>. Wikis are strong for their ability to customize everything; but therein is the key difference. Most founders don't want to start with a blank page because then they have to think about how to start and what to write about. We want to be the antithesis to that, reducing friction means providing a structure and less choices that make it easy for companies to quickly share information without spending lots of time.</li><li><b>Reporting</b> - apps like <u>VisibleVC</u> will be interesting to watch, though they seem to have more of an investor-first focus. It's hard to consider early startups as competitors, just as they won't consider us a competitor, but we'll probably learn a lot from each other as we grow up.</li><li><b>Company blogs</b> - <u>BlogIn</u>&nbsp;is an example. Their message is: Create and Run an internal company blog. Share news and knowledge, boost collaboration and improve team communication. Like a wiki, it's a blank page but gives you tools to set up groups, security, etc.</li><li><b>Marketplace/Platform</b> - Sites like <u>Angelist</u>, <u>Mattermark</u> and <u>Crunchbase</u> are go to places when you want to know more about a startup. How much have they raised, who invested, and pieces here and there about their traction and progress. Startups might like to have a presence on these sites, but it doesn’t mean they're the best way for leaders to communicate with stakeholders. Ideally, founders will use OpenCompany and then publish the information to these sites so it's available everywhere.</li><li><b>Dashboard</b> - Most dashboards aren't&nbsp;competition because they’re focused on data and integrating lots of different data sources, not stakeholder communications. Still, we can learn a lot by looking at the leaders and articulating how our dashboard is different.<br></li></ul></p>",
