Why wouldn't you charge the companies to post, and then allow your select membership to make a buck with their reviews?
You could limit participation in the site to those that can "prove" their credentials in some way.
If the service that you provide is accurate and needed, start-ups would tumble over themselves to get their product in front of your crowd. It's like techcrunch with an added value beyond publicity.

- run4yourlives 17y agoDon't underestimate the value of being in the "in group" though. You could also have the company (or the community) designate the top X reviews that would get money.
- jmonegro 17y agoI pointed out in another comment, that companies could give away free stuff to the top comment authors for their product as an incentive. The problem with monetary rewards is that I don't want to have to manage that, since this is a side project and is not meant to be a startup (for now, at least :)
