I would add Bitly in Marketing as well. They have more than $100 million revenue per year. Link shortening has got a bad rap but there is plenty of demand for branded links.

I have spent last few months talking to unsatisfied customers of Bitly and following this space and I see a general disappointment with UX, lack of flexibility and high costs associated with the platform.

My service https://blanq.io has tried to address these but I feel there is plenty of space left for more players to enter in. It is relatively easy to get started and scale the service. The barrier of entry is quite low.

But you would need to differentiate your platform - there are like a 1000 clones of Bitly that pretty much do the same.

Have you got any traction with your project? What's your elevator pitch to differentiate?

Yes. As of now have a few paying customers and it covers the expenses of my servers.

I will need to double down on marketing efforts in coming days. But I do see there is a need.
