The problem it solves
Many real estate investors struggle to find partners and capitalize on lucrative deals due to a lack of networking opportunities. Current networking often happens through informal channels, which may not reach a broad audience or provide the necessary resources for meaningful connections.
How it makes money
Subscription-based model for premium features, with free access for basic networking capabilities.
Skills you need

The market, and why this works now
The rise of remote work has increased the need for online networking platforms. Launching in relevant subreddits focused on real estate investing can generate initial revenue through premium memberships for exclusive content and networking events. However, founders should consider the challenge of user acquisition costs, which may be high due to the competitive landscape of online networking and the need to build trust within the real estate community.
