It’s a long one but worth it(hopefully)
People of reddit! You’re required again. I early posted a ridiculous idea here which then led to a couple of brainstorming nights which ultimately resulted in the simplest of ideas ever.
A paid membership for Indian genz founders-the biggest of founders are bit in the older side usually because they are 2nd or 3rd time founders and while it’s obviously important to have their experience and expertise I don’t think there is a dedicated business/initiative around a genz founders peer group.
Why even? Well because, I’m a genz and a first time founder and I have a million questions and most popular advice online is just not relatable to me mainly because they’re from people way WAY ahead of me , I think our generation loves to learn from like minded people and people who are in a similar place or have just faced similar problems recently.
Solution- a community/membership club for genz founders where we can ask for best tools recommendations, vendor reviews, which agency to hire to do their branding, content ideas for the business and basically anything, from hiring CXOs to just business therapy. Revenue will obviously be subscription based.
Some features and Value proposition(why should they even join)- 1)networking with next generation of founders(network comes to you instead of you having to go to network) 2)Getting solutions and recommendations from other successful founders who will ve vetted by us(won’t just allow everyone to join will have a criteria/metric to keep up the quality) 3)as members increase the price increases for new members(creating FOMO and promoting founders to join ASAP) 4)digital community- members motivated for your success and and acting as advisory board 24/7 5)curation of industry information and trends relevant to the members and their business by our team 6)monthly virtual meetups by your core group(8-10 members based on your location) who will all discuss their monthly wins, problems, solving those problems 7)quarterly in person meetups for the entire community led by industry experts and successful founder talks 8)based on member-demand, bulk discounts on softwares, tools etc(Deals can be worked out once the community is of a certain size) 9)weekly newsletter celebrating highlights of members based on conversation in the digital community and helping others keep track of their peers (free marketing for members being highlighted essentially) Other features also on my mind but obviously can’t add everything all at once maybe start with like 5 of these and then keep on adding as community grows
Recommendations needed- need to start a free community at first to get traction which platform should I build this on? Do I need a website at the very start or can that be postponed? Best ways to reach first 100 of these founders?
AND most importantly, should I make this a premium community by targeting founders doing a certain amount of revenue 1-2 cr or just existing genz founders who have a running business
(a premium community reference- OFFLINE by utsav somani)
Please give as detailed feedback as possible-criticism, approval, suggestions anything is very appreciated
Also need a Co founder who has a little bit technical skills to build digital community- slack, website builders, skool, a crm(beehive, hubspot etc), or a person who knows such genz founders?
If you anyone can connect me who they think will be relevant for this business in any sense, please do thanks.
Also lastly, open to investors as well(damn this economy is crazy)
