How does the company name relate to the service itself? Do you help uncover "hidden gem" employees? Or does a client need to do that themselves, but you only help in arranging the reward? If you don't help to identify those who go above and beyond, the name is a little distracting as it's the kind of name that makes it seem like there ought to be this functionality.

That might be a good direction to consider going in the future. Have an API which companies can integrate into their existing systems to push metrics your way (whether they do the integration themselves or through IFTTT, Zapier, etc.) with thresholds set on your side to "Uncover" the star performers in the organization. A manager can then periodically go into their dashboard, review who the system has uncovered (exceeded the thresholds), and pick and choose who gets rewards.



What's behind the company name is the idea of uncovering your company/employees potential. We are working toward helping you do just that, but you have to start somewhere and we have a lot still to learn.

I love your idea of creating an API to integrate into their existing systems.

This crucial point about your brand isn't conveyed anywhere in the homepage copy. Making that connection to unify the solid URL with your core benefits in the copy will go a long way toward telling a cohesive story about not only what you do, but why you do it.


Shoot me an email (in profile) if you want to get up and going on Zapier, I can help you work through an MVP API or what kinds of integrations might be popular.


Thanks! I'll shoot you an email to make the connection, but I think we're still a bit of a ways away from doing so as we just launched and are still iterating.
