Hijacking your thread a bit, but I have to give you feedback on your landing page copy. I don't understand what you sell!

I thought you were an app for people that care about their social media reach (like, twitter tech influencers). Forgiveable since your hero copy is " Build your Reach".

It's super important when writing marketing copy to name your users. If I'm a club chair for the local bowling league and I see "sports leagues" mentioned then my brain will just think "oh, this is for me!"

The first paragraph in your about page is so much better:

> Whether you're a sports club, social group, hobbyist organization, or non-profit, embolt is the solution to running your organization. We believe every club and organization should have a reliable platform to accept online member dues, manage registration, run events, and so much more.

I would replace the hero copy with a condensed version of that.



Thanks for your feedback!

I agree with what you're saying, our homepage came before our product so we're in a goofy stage of having a nearly finished MVP product and no mention or links to it on the marketing pages.
