It’s clear that the addition of money can incentivize some great community standards.

Are you focusing on any specific kinds of companies at first? Ie. IndieHackers or ProductHunt type?

Also, do you plan to run any competitions or challenges from the platform side?

At the moment we're definitely looking at IndieHackers and ProductHunt, but also using Pioneer's tournament aspect.

We have some basic weekly challenges right now that help boost your score to incentivise community feedback (these are only be visible to users). Adding competitions is not something I'd thought about, but it's a fantastic idea.
