Building a social discovery platform but for it to be anyway useful , we will need volume of folks to be on the platform trying to interact at one time. It might be easy problem to solve for companies like fb,reddit, Insta etc but how should a startup solve it?
Definitely read The Cold Problem. But the gist is you need to figure out the hard side of your market - there’s always supply and demand and one of those is harder.
Get a bunch of hard side people to sign on individually (e.g. have an actual conversation with them).
Then get a bunch of easy side to come and check out the hard side that are already there. Again you’ll need to find those people manually and sign them on.
You need to go super niche - the same kind of people with the same kinds of interests need to get together at your site at the same time - actual physical time. Otherwise there’s no momentum.
It’s a hard problem to crack but when you do crack it it can grow beautifully because of network effects.
So if you’re committed to it, go for it!
