Curious about the plans for a revenue model. Are they going to charge teams to list? Or charge companies to find them?
The big challenge with any outsourcing platform is to retain recurring revenue from existing customers - because the problem is that once two parties connect with each other and do a successful project, they can just as easily contact each other direct thereafter; without any need for the middle-man.
- whather 15y agoThe plan is to eventually charge companies to find teams. It's true that the site might be a single use for many companies (leave once they hire a team) but I think that's a common problem for any recruiting site.
- mrschwabe 15y agoSounds like a decent way to do it. With that model, you might experiment with 'sliding scale' plans - by offering more expensive packages with access to more teams (and perhaps more relevant teams; ie- location). And a little more input on your revenue model: I think you want to go subscription, but make it long term to justify a relatively high initial price point (since you have to maximize that initial transaction due to the little problem we discussed above). Might be best to just make all plans 1 year. It simplifies things; and then you've got a decent probability your customers will renew again year after year.
