Really interesting to see behind the scenes in terms of connecting with the press.
But this seems more like a minimum viable community than a minimum viable product to me.
"No matter how useful your product might be, it isn't a business without users"
I think that should read: "without customers".
Is there a plan regarding monetization? There was no mention of this under 'The Uncertain Future' section...
- joelle 13y agoVery good point. But I'd argue that most customers start off as "users". Sure - some people show up for the first time and whip out their credit cards - but when you're starting that small your best (early) customers will be ones you convert to paid out of the beta.
- rrhoover 13y agoGlad you enjoyed it. WRT to monetization, our focus is engagement/retention, then growth, then monetization (maybe). We have some ideas on how we might monetize (hint: http://jonathan-kim.com/2014/starting-fires/ http://jonathan-kim.com/2014/starting-fires/) but that's not our focus at this time.
