##Roadmap for SD 2015

##1. Background

First a little background. We want to focus and grow startup digest in 2015. We have already agreed to those attributes denoted in bold: focus and growth. The following is a clarification of what that means, and an outline of a plan for what we will actually do with our time.

We have engaged with a diverse group of readers and communities and learned a little bit about their goals, and how they view Startup Digest. Also, we have made various attempts - surveys, contests, analytics, click maps - to further refine our understanding of the Digest and its readership.

We have seen competitor products that are beginning to automate the event curation process. Eventbrite suggestions and Crunchbase come to mind.
