Small quibble, but I don't like that you mentioned Game of Thrones along with Netflix and Hulu. Those online services don't have Game of Thrones. The only way to watch any HBO show is to have a cable subscription or buy the episodes directly.
Great job! Looking back, you'll see that learning to code was one of the best decisions you made. One minor thing - it took me about 7-10 seconds to understand what your product is. I should be able to understand within 2 seconds. You should put in big letters towards the top: "Employee Recognition Program" or something a little more sales-y.
That's good feedback. Definitely continuing to improve the message.

Thanks a lot. I'm familiar with Rypple, but I haven't used it to be honest. We're definitely working on something similar, but with a slightly different approach. We have a feature called Rewards that allow employers to reward employees for going the extra mile. With that feature you can reward one or more employees and tailor the gift and message to them.
That sounds awesome too. One thing you might want to experiment with is the opposite of Rewards - randomly timing perks so that they're unassociated with performance. This approach is shown to work on everything from mice to casino gamblers, otherwise a predictable pattern of wins just become the new normal.
As everyone's said, site and idea look great! suggestion - I'm not sure if you have this as a feature (I'd suspect you do) -- but allowing employees to vote on their perks would be great. Like if when company HR managers (or who ever sets team budgets) set the budget, they could go to your site, input that data, and know how many "points" (essentially dollars) worth of perks they can afford. Then employees could log…
Thank you. I really appreciate it. That's a very interesting idea. We've had some similar thoughts that I think we'll begin to start incorporating over the next few months. We want employees to have more involvement in the benefits, but at the same time make sure that the employer can customize Uncover for the type of culture they want to create. For example, we have some beta customers that have books clubs at their…
That would fit in perfectly with the book club -- employees who want to fund something like that have two avenues -- get their club recognized by HR in the budget, or if interest is high enough they can get enough votes to put it in the employee perk budget.
