How the Braintrust network has grown.
Remember last week when the buzz around the network was that a new weekly record was made when 102 new Talent joined? Well, that became old news FAST.
This week there’s a new record: 110 new approved Talent have joined Braintrust! As CEO Adam Jackson says, we can barely keep up with all these new growth milestones. And that’s a good problem to have.

Other notable happenings this week:
User-owned, user-controlled, and user-supported.
That’s the Braintrust reality, especially with the development of Community Support! Braintrust is building a program where Talent in the community can provide support information, respond to inquiries, and share relevant docs when users run into problems. This will help quickly solve the most commonplace problems AND continue putting more power into the hands of the Community.
A support request in Discord which will soon be handled by Community members.

If you’re wondering “how can I get my hands on some BTRST?” then this is the perfect update for you.
Product is designing a new and improved Earn page that highlights all the myriad ways Braintrust users can earn BTRST, including referring Talent and clients, helping build the product, taking Braintrust Academy courses, and much more.

And if you don’t know what to DO with that BTRST, the page will provide information for that as well. But if you really can’t wait for the answer, check this link here or tweet at @adamjacksonsf…because that guy really loves to talk about it.
Other priorities include:
HR and Culture is doing so much recruiting that Chief of Staff Anne Muscarella got banned from LinkedIn for looking at too many amazing Talent profiles. This is a punishment worn with pride - when you’ve got mad hustle and dedication to helping this user-owned Talent network grow, sometimes you have to take a hit or two.

While HR + Culture solves that little hiccup, they’re also working on Q3 planning. More to come on this next week!
