CONNECTS to replace GAN Insight

GAN Insight will be officially decommissioned and replaced by Morrow’s new CONNECTS platform on July 1st, 2023.

 

CONNECTS was launched on September 1, 2022, to a select group of Morrow members to validate and test the platform. Currently, over 100 Morrow members have been given access to the platform, and more than 2,000 startup founders are utilizing CONNECTS to engage with mentors, investors, and founders affiliated with their accelerators. GAN Insight, which has served over 21,000 founders and their accelerator operators, will sunset on June 30th, 2023.

CONNECTS is specifically designed to meet the needs of ambitious founders aspiring to build the next generation of venture-backed businesses. The platform boasts an extensive network of accelerators, hubs, and studios affiliated with Morrow and its members, providing startups with valuable international connections as they scale their operations. CONNECTS builds upon key learnings from GAN Insight and is purpose-built for startups looking for connections and resources.

CONNECTS is more than just a platform for founders; it also serves as an essential tool for accelerator operators and corporate supporters committed to fostering the growth and success of startups and their communities. With CONNECTS, operators can easily build and manage their ecosystems of mentors and investors, post updates and events, and share valuable resources through a comprehensive library. Operators can feature events, such as demo days, mentor workshops, and other important activities that founders attend. CONNECTS equips founders with resources and perks from partners that they can use to run their organizations.

CONNECTS is a powerful portfolio communication tool that facilitates collaboration between founders. The messaging toolset on CONNECTS empowers founders to engage other founders, mentors, investors, and corporate partners. One special feature of CONNECTS allows operators to double opt-in to discussions by founders and investors.

GAN Insight has served a global community of startup founders for over a decade, and CONNECTS will continue to support founders at whatever stage of business they are in for the next decade. For any questions or to reach the support team, please use the contact email: connectshelp@morrow.co.
