Introducing: sharing updates via Direct Links
Previously, your network could only consume updates in one of two places - their inbox, or your profile. Now you can share your updates directly with a link and they'll be able to view them full screen, right in their browser.
Like so:

With this improved experience, you can share individual updates, on demand. Added someone to your list after the fact? Send the link. Want to share your progress on social? Send the link. Love the feel of Substack and Medium, and want to get in on the party? Send. The. Link.
The best part? Whoever opens your update will have the opportunity to connect or subscribe right at the top of the page.
Sharing Settings and Privacy
You'll have the same privacy settings you know and love, but now sharing is as simple as choosing your setting, copying your link, and sending it off into the abyss.

To recap quickly:
  1. Write your latest update

  3. Hit Send, Send the link, let the attention come rolling in

Company admins are now able to generate, view, share, and validate DNS records in order to authenticate their domains without the need for contacting the Paperstreet support team. Your Domain Authentication settings can be found in your Edit Company dashboard:

You are able to delegate the installation as well as the validation of DNS records by simply sending the Instructions to a teammate or contractor who is best suited to install the records. Click on the "Send to teammate" tab after you have generated a set of records in order to do so.

What is Domain Authentication?
Domain authentication allows for better email deliverability and a heavily reduced chance of ending up in recipients' spam folders. You will continue to be able to send emails if you have not authenticated your domain, your emails will just come from an @paperstreet.vc domain to ensure maximum deliverability.
Previously, contacts import would completely ignore a contact being imported or added to a new group if that email already existed in your contacts system. This prevented the ability to bulk create new contact groups from a list of contacts if some of those contacts were already in your system.
With this enhancement, you may now import existing emails into any contact groups to better manage new or existing group participants.
  • Added error messaging for invalid hyperlinks
  • Clicking off of the hyperlink editor will still create the hyperlink if the link provided is valid
The edit company page received a UI overhaul with an emphasis on ease of use and supporting a tag first taxonomy. If you haven't already, update the market vertical, location, and investment stage tags for your company. Tags make your company easier to locate by those looking to discover you in search results. If you do not wish to be visible in search results you always have the option to hide your company with visibility options on the left hand side.
