Ask HN: Site for reviewing Apps/Business Ideas

3 points by abuella 15 years ago | 2 comments

what do you think about the viability of creating a paid service where experienced web entrepreneurs could review your app/business plan and provide you with a paid unique report about what they think.

The reports would focus on all major areas such as, strength of idea, market site, UI, functionality, competitor landscape, monetisation options etc.

Would you be prepared to pay for this kind of service, taking into account the reports would be custom written for each app that was reviewed.

if you would be prepared to pay, how much for what kind of length report

cheers all.

I wouldn't be interested at all. In fact, I'd steer clear of it. If, as an entrepreneur, I have a disruptive/interesting idea, the last thing I want to do is to go talk to a bunch of people I have no personal relationship with. I'd be far better off in 99.999% of cases cultivating local relationships and having local discussions rather than via Skype/email.

I realize that the 20-somethings out there think differently in some cases - and maybe they are right - but it wouldn't be for me.

Maybe you could have a list of entrepreneurs, each entrepreneur could have a different fee and you should be able to choose based on your interest. I would pay much more for a well known entrepreneur that is related to my area of business to have my site reviewed.
