hluska thanks for checking out the website, I would like to refer to a couple of your points:
1. You chose two newsletters as examples:
A. Accelerator news: the guy that publish this is the managing director of TechStars London, I can promise you that there are not a lot of people who know about accelerators as he does. That's the all point, he gets access to content that someone who is not from the accelerator world wouldn't find.
B. Collection of startups: the curator here is one of the most active and smart angel investors in Israel, this guy has a chance to see so many startups years before others learn about them (invest really early). So you see, the intro doesn't really matter here, what maters is the access to the info and both the examples you chose completely proves the value of the service.
2. As for the chicken and egg problem, this is a challenge, but maybe I'll share some numbers with you. We have around 500 curators and 7500 subscriptions to the different newsletters. Here are additional numbers from the past 6 months that gives us good indication that people discover content they wouldn't have found easily otherwise: https://medium.com/@RefreshBoxx/500-curators-5-000-links-6-months-interesting-stats-from-refreshbox-and-1-insight-we-loved-f9bc25ec92b6 https://medium.com/@RefreshBoxx/500-curators-5-000-links-6-m...
3. I approached to get feedback here because I'm still in the basics, getting new users is hard, but the main challenge is make the curators to be as active as possible. From discussions with them, we know they want more engagement and that was my question, how can we make subscribers to engage more with the curators.
Appreciate your feedback and happy to get more!
