I think this could be a great solution, but consider going after Slack rather than Whatsapp to being with. Unusually I think enterprise customers will make better early adopters than consumers, as they don't care about network effects and their technological inertia actually aligns with your selling point - that it is a thin protocol on top of email.
Once people use this for their professional email address they may start to using it for their personal one too.
- vermilingua 8y agoNo, that’s right, they don’t care about network effects; enterprise customers care about a SLA above everything else. An open protocol cannot provide a SLA.
- Freak_NL 8y agoThe alternative for Slack is MatterMost, which you can host on-premise, and is free. I can heartedly recommend it. It's just not an urgent a problem as this is.
- jonnycomputer 8y agoI've ran a mattermost instance for several years now. Works pretty well, actually better as the years have gone by.
