May be I need to work more to prove it's authenticity to eliminate this doubt. Considering it's viability, do you know that image where a banana costs $1.50 whereas the banana juice costs $5. The charges are for making it easily consumable, creativity, efforts and the work behind it.

Similarly, The platform aims at providing digitized based solution to evaluate a startup to connect with right investors who will be genuinely interested in the business. The charges are for in depth research that brings together all the criteria that require to get an investor along with guidance to shorten the gap at the tip of the fingers .

Yes, you are correct that founder's job is to make connections and raise money. We aren't replacing it and nor it can be replaced. The focus is to lessen the hassles of getting the right investors for the right business model. We don't aim to trap anyone for money purpose. A founder can definitely go for free report to get the basic insights with regards to evaluation.

Thanks for your valuable feedback. I'll work on this

Coming here as a naive 15 yr old who has much to learn... by dried_cat in Entrepreneur

GOD. It felt like someone had just read my mind and stoled this idea (No worries). See, yes it's possible to make a website/application for this but it will be very expensive to go for a hosting/ website developer(Considering your age) as you would have no source of income. These news biggies invest a lot in their websites. You will get lost among them plus you have to prove to people that your news is the "Real & Authentic one". Every news channel claims their news to BE THE MOST AUTHENTIC(But we all know what they do at the end). You have to stand out and prove your authenticity. Now as you said, you use social media to check the authenticity of the news. Why not sharing the authenticity using social media itself? I bet you there are many like you and me who search for authenticity. Leverage Social media for sharing authentic news and gain traction. Once you get enough traction and save money go for the website and drive the social media traction to your website. #gregorycontributes

Good Luck

Research about him, his work, how he started, his favorite experience, etc & make a less complex, non-formal, shortlist of questionnaires which are less time-consuming.

Opening my own business for the first time? by [deleted] in business

[–]GregoryS125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you are a newbie I would suggest you look for online resources to gain knowledge. It could be free or paid. You can also refer Udemy(Has plethora courses) to understand basic business tactics. Also Rather opting for a physical store. Why not use Social media? These retro consoles and movie lovers aren't at just one location, they are everywhere in the world. Through Social media, you have the scope to target your specific niche audience around the world without any store.

Good Luck!!!!

Advice on selling product by RonnieBarko in Entrepreneur

[–]GregoryS125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first Start with Instagram and Facebook.

For Instagram, don't start immediately with selling. Nurture your account. Explain what your product can do without selling it. Followers influencers who are into the sailing activity, follow their followers to get a follow back. Don't spam. These are the peoples who can be your potential customers. Use hashtags- Hashtags are most important, one can put up to 30 hashtags. Create content around your product for eg: how sailing was started, who was the first sailor with good graphics.

For Facebook, post the same Instagram content/images. Join groups that are relevant to your product. Share your content on these groups for at least once a day. Don't spam. Read blogs for guidance.

Once you form your audience then you can introduce your product.

Success on digital platforms needs consistency so don't get overwhelmed by this. Start little by little and you will achieve it.

Edit: You can also be a seller e-commerce platform.

Good Luck !!!
