What does following another user do?

On Republic, you can follow other users. Similar to other social websites, it allows you to easily follow their activity on Republic: 

• Investments — when the user who you are following invests and makes their investment public, you will get a notification.
• Posts and comments — when the user who you are following posts in a discussion section, or comments on a blog article, or on a public update, you will get a notification.
• Follows — when the user who you are following follows a startup or another user, you will get a notification.

Following the right people is a great way to discover deals. Look through the Reviews section of any startup and find people whose reasons for investing you find thoughtful and compelling and follow them.

In turn, write thoughtful investment reason and build a following. The more people follow you, the more impact you can make with your investments!
