Even if Zaarly takes time to establish it's grounds in the UK, a clone is a clone. You have to have a better idea than whats out in the market, you can't create a Groupon clone and expect for it to rocket (unless you have an amazing deal that offers $100 of Food for $2) but in reality, that is impossible.
Zaarly already uses Geolocation. I'm here to help, if you can provide us with mockups, or designs of what your start-up will offer to it's users, we can improve the stability, and provide harsh feedback for it to succeed, and take on those competitors.
- ig1 15y agoTell that to SoSasta (India), Groupoer (Israel), Twangoo (South Africa), Disdus (Indonesia), ClanDescuento (Chile), CityDeal (Europe), GroupMore (Malaysia), etc. All local Groupon clones which were acquired by Groupon for multimillion dollar amounts.
- shadananu78 15y agoI'm sure the OP doesn't want to get his start-up acquired, well atleast that is what I'm hoping, to beat the guys in the market he needs to provide some key features that can set him aside from his competitors. Why won't people go out and create Groupon Clones and sell them to Groupon for millions of dollars? - Because Groupon has a key acquiring strategy they use, and a lot of other start-ups use. They look at the key features that Groupon doesn't have, then they look at their market and get term sheets ready.
- ig1 15y agoAcquisition is the primary exit route of startups, only a very very tiny minority of startups going the IPO route. Despite me giving a list of Groupon clones who Groupon have acquired you seem to have missed the point. Groupon enters new markets by acquiring the leading player in the local market, it's absolutely not about features but rather about market share.
