Ask HN: Any tips for selling SaaS to colleges/universities?
I have been working on a product that will help colleges cut down their levels of roommate conflicts and have started sending emails and making calls.
Any tips for how to elicit the most interest from these universities? Dealing with universities is a bit tricky, and I would appreciate any advice or experience you all could offer.
- brudgers 16y agoTo me, this looks like the sort of thing a university develops in-house [and maybe hopes to license]. See: http://www.uga.edu/housing/prosstudents/roommate.html http://www.uga.edu/housing/prosstudents/roommate.html >"a product that will help colleges cut down their levels of roommate conflicts" Can you really substantiate that claim and quantify a cost savings associated with it? If not, there's too much blowback potential for a college administrator to gamble on it. .
