Interesting. Thanks for that insight.

Sounds good, will shoot a message.

Yes, I would. Seems it would be particularly useful for content marketers. I'd also like to know how you plan to do this with an API.

Awesome, thanks alot for your feedback. A place to find mastermind groups is essentially what we're working to build. We just don't use the phrase because most people have never heard of it.

Yes, a way for startups to learn from each other using peer groups. We're looking into also adding expert advice-givers for those who need it as a revenue model.

Not quite. BNI is more for referrals and networking. The goal is NOT to network, but to form a closer, more intimate group where you can discuss things at a deeper level.

So a better analogy would be - rather than a networking event where everyone exchanges business cards, it's more like a small monthly breakfast meetup where small biz owners discuss how they're growing their business, cutting cost, tackling employee challenges, or whatever else.

The goal is to match non-competing businesses together in small groups. Not to just follow each others progress but to act as a sounding board/mentor to each as well to get over the whole "lonely at the top" feeling frequent among entrepreneurs.

Interesting, thanks for you input. The sharing confidential things is what I'm worried about too. Are the non-disclosures usually enough to overcome most fears? Also, are the people you see participating paying fees to participate?
