The problem it solves
Entrepreneurs often lack the necessary sales skills and need to find a partner who can handle this critical aspect of the business.
How it makes money
Freemium model where basic matching is free, and premium features are available for a subscription fee.
Skills you need
Understanding of business partnerships, online platform management, and matchmaking expertise.
The market, and why this works now
LinkedIn's Sales Navigator allows entrepreneurs to find potential sales partners within a targeted network. The first revenue move could involve promoting premium features through Lenny's Community, where startup founders seek partnership advice. A constraint in the first year will be the capital required to develop and maintain the platform, particularly to ensure effective matching algorithms that enhance user experience.
