Meet Sandi MacPherson: Founder of Quibb
The story of the tech startup founded in a garage has been frequently told. I came across an endearing story of a solo-entrepreneur working on an innovative news and link sharing startup in the Bay Area. The person is Sandi MacPherson, a former climate change scientist and the company is Quibb. What is endearing is how she actually met in person and…

A community needs to...
I'm still going through my old Wordpress blog and salvaging snippets of thoughts from pre-2014. Here's a short one I jotted down after a chat with Quibb founder Sandi MacPherson:
A community needs to:
1. Start small and be invitation-only first
A curated audience, intentional participation. These folks create the norm for what it means to be part of it. It starts small and grows big slowly.
2. Have an interaction element and reputation structure
On Quibb, people vote. You gain reputation points by having more upvotes.
3. Have a purpose for being
On Quibb, it’s to curate the top links worth reading each day. The focus (at least for now) is on the startup community and anything that affects your work there.
4. Have recurring events to rally around
Think AMAs on reddit or We Are New York Tech and the monthly New York Tech Meetup.
5. Fit with your flow and needs
From a tactical perspective, it is seamless. It fits into the user’s life easily, what they want and when they want it. Email summaries of links are sent at the end of the business day, when people have time to read. There’s a mobile app and Chrome extension to easily share articles to Quibb when you are reading them.
6. Bring value to the members
Paid memberships, reddit gold. There’s value extracted from being part of a community.
7. Support relationships
Followers, following. connections, friends, what have you.
