Hey everyone,
Just wanted to add a little more context to the email we sent out earlier.
The purpose of the Marketplace Beta was to learn
The purpose of the marketplace was to understand, in a very lean way, how people want to interact with savings, energy and investments as well as get an idea of what product categories you want to see next.
We’ve learned tons thanks to your great feedback
We’ve learned tons about what you’d like to see, from your comments here on the forum, your in-app feedback and some of the more quantitative measures. As has been posted above, the learnings varied quite a bit between the product categories which is helpful to hear - it means the marketplace probably won’t be a one-size-fits-all-products solution.
But we also learned that the marketplace is more alpha than beta
We also got plenty of feedback that the marketplace in it’s current form isn’t as useful, nor as delightful an experience as people would like (plenty of feedback told us it was more in fact more alpha than beta 
).
What’s great is that we now have a good idea of how to make it both useful and delightful, but it won’t be an overnight transformation. We’re planning out our next steps now, and when we have a better idea of what we’ll be working on and when, I’d love to update you.
In the meantime, we think it’s best to take the savings and investments out of the marketplace as the experience isn’t as useful or delightful as it could be! We’ve left energy in there as there’s still a few more incremental updates we can do, and a little more we can learn.
As ever, I would love to hear your thoughts!
Rich
