The Poetry startup seems to be a very healthy idea. There is a large audience of poets; writing poetry is a very social process; and they use Internet extensively . Right now they are scattered thru a million of small resources and communities in social networks. But what if you can bring them all in one place? There might be a sufficiently large audience to monetize even if we forget about readers at all.
So his bubble sample has meaning and therefore his POV rests unproved.
- brudgers 15y agoThis reaoning is why it's a bubble - the idea that selling services to poets scales in the way that selling poetry to consumers would (in theory).
- guard-of-terra 15y agoPoets are consumers, consumers are poets. Also, you can target every poet out there, in the past you could not target every consumer or producer. It does not have to be big for seed funding. Might as well pay dividents.
