Feedback: Would a platform that is similar to LinkedIn that focuses more on interests and personal connections be successful?

Marc Ragsdale, Lean product launch by offshoring answered:

At Prospus we daily interact with companies in the ideation phase, and are often hit with questions just like these. While we have gone on to help build and launch successful products that started as an idea, we have advised just as many individuals and companies to avoid a project.

I would say you have the start of something interesting, but you should spend a substantial amount of time researching potential competition. Who offers something similar? How is your idea different? This research will help you refine your idea and determine its real value.

You should also start identifying your target customer by building an ICP (Ideal Customer Profile). Then ask yourself a few questions: will your ideal customer spend time on this? What is their perceived ROI? What do they get out of it? You need to be able to answer all of this before you go too much further.

It's vital you invest your time where you get the greatest ROI. I'd be happy to get on a call and help you think through this strategically and determine if this is a worthwhile idea to pursue.
