The "Tinder" design is meant to solve the problem Sam faces by having to vet potential users for this beta list. This design was stretched to fit on a small screen and stole many design elements from the popular app "Tinder". By clicking on the right, or swiping in that direction, the user is approved. By clicking on the left or swiping in that direction, the user is rejected. By clicking on the bottom or swiping in that direction, the user is left to be decided later. The users come up as a stack of cards, with the user's name, picture, and social media information coming up on that card..
The "Email" Design solves the same task as the previous design, being able to quickly approve/reject potential beta users. The goal of this design was to fit within a paradigm that users are already very accustomed to. This design assumes that we have access to a continuous stream of beta users as we sign up, unlike the previous one where they could be dumped in once a day. As each beta user signs up, Sam immediately receives an email. This email contains the user's name, picture, and information from all of their social media outlets. The user has an immediate call to action within the application of deciding whether to approve, reject, or wait on the user.
The "Trello" design is aimed towards the task that Sam has of keeping track of his relationships with his investors. Here, the major motivation for the deign came the fact that relationships with investors can be sorted intoa  pipeline of buckets. That is, from when you first start the relationship to when the terms sheet is signed. Here, many of the design elements were taken from a popular website known as Trello. Within this design, new users can be added either automatically through the beta list, or manually as one meets investors. Each individual card contains that person's photo and a brief biography about them.
