> The expert never earns a dime. Humanware is hard, super hard. I'm not sure if this idea is brilliant or not. Do you have a few experts to seed the pool? Perhaps the experts can get a discount if they want to talk to an expert in another area. But it must be written very carefully so people don't think you pocket all the unclaimed discounts. How do you filter scammers and idiots? |

Seeding supply is the cold start problem that kills 90% of marketplaces. I'm not solving it with growth hacks. I'm solving it with my phone. People I know who've navigated hard things and want to give back. People who have gone through the rigors of private adoptions, experts in technology for the elderly, NYC teachers, etc.
Filtering scammers: the 100% nonprofit model is hopefully the filter. Grifters don't show up to platforms where they can't grift. It's like putting a salad bar in a casino, haha.
Expert-to-expert swaps? Love the idea. Hopefully I can build up to that once there's some activity here.
I'm building small, curated, and slow on purpose. Will it work? No idea. But the downside of trying is near zero.
Really appreciate the comment!
