Hi Jared & Trevor,
Thank you for giving us this opportunity to discuss our ideas with you.
I am the founder of http://www.pnyxter.com - a video (only) based debate and discussion app.
My question is about product-market fit.
A user can create topic and upload a video selfie talking on the topic or respond to other topics via video selfie. The app does not have provision of text comments at all - only video responses.
I've invited several friends and family for private beta, and its been 10 days now and only 1 of my friend dared to create a video.
I also shared the link on FB and linked in and got several views, but no one created a topic. I also did a FB ad for 2 days - no luck here too. Is this a clear indication of product - market misfit? Or is it too early to conclude?
Or should I shift my focus only on professional and amateur debaters of various debate clubs in cities, universities, schools etc.
I do understand the privacy issues of showing video selfie - but I've given provision of a good privacy control (or at least I think its good).
Video based opinions are already being posted by users in Facebook and youtube - but do not have this consolidated grouping of all video discussions on a topic in one place.
Youtube tried video response feature and closed it in 2013 due to low engagement - but of course youtube is a very generic video site - not all videos needs video responses/discusisons/debates.
Thanks!!
