It looks like Dex is fairly early stage and has a single founder(?). Many people including myself see this as a fairly rare occurence though YC insists otherwise (and YC is likely correct). I wanted to ask you a few questions about your company and journey leading up to to YC.
* When did you start the company and how many founders are there?
* What was your traction (MAU or anything else) prior to being accepted into YC?
* How do you plan to grow the userbase? Content marketing, ads, partnering with other companies?
* How do you plan to make money?
* How big is the market size?
* Are there any adjacent markets that you could see yourself expanding into?
Good luck!
- ksun 7y agoYou're right on both counts. The company started approximately 9 months ago, focused on different ideas in the relationship management space; traction prior to YC was minimal. The plan to grow the userbase is content marketing + advertising as we figure out unit economics. The plan to make money is to charge $7.99/month for the product. Market size estimates this early are tough to get right, but we believe anyone who uses LI (645 million users) can manage relationships better with Dex.
