This is going to be a bit of a roundabout answer, so please bear with me.
Our first task is to prove we there we can provide sufficient value through objective info, and in helping people figure out which tools to invest in.
This is a bit of a convoluted way to say that we aren't 100% sure on long-term monetization, but we do know it probably won't be wirecutter-type affiliate nor paywall. We fully subscribe to the pg thought process behind this: http://paulgraham.com/good.html http://paulgraham.com/good.html. That said, if we can accomplish our goal, we believe we can make money somehow, whether by offering value-added services or something else. Keep in mind that we're software developers ourselves, so we're in a position to build something once it becomes clear where the opportunity is; we're not just review-writers. For now, we're focused on producing as much value as we can by writing useful reviews. Speaking of which, we'd really like to hear what would be most useful to you in evaluating SaaS products!
- kkotak 6y agoGot it. Thanks for the detailed answer. I formed a company early this year and using - ZenBusiness for incorporation, Gusto for Payroll, Bill.com for invoicing, Radius Bank for online banking, Stripe for payments, Shopify for storefront, etc. You may want to start segmenting reviews for the needs for types or applications, types of businesses, stages of endeavors (eg. early stage vs. growth), etc. One of the areas I see is for helping tech startups evaluate their cloud provider (AWS vs. Azure Vs. GCP Vs. other) options based on the product they are building. Just my 2c. Good luck!
