THE MODEL: A P2P platform
for learners and teachers to discover each other within a neighborhood. A user
wanting to learn a skill can use the platform to find a teacher in the neighborhood.
Similarly if a user has a particular skill set, he/she can create a page and
get leads.
STARTUP: Konnektid
(Dutch startup)
WHAT I LIKE
Core Idea – Learning
within a community is an innovative model which connects teachers and learners
within a neighborhood. Classes are generally sought after by students close to
their homes. This startup helps them in finding teachers nearby.
Benefits to Users
– Students can find classes nearby, which saves them time. Also since this is a
P2P platform, the prices of teachers would tend to be lower than what a small
business would charge.
CONCERNS
Revenue Model – Since the platform is only for connecting
learners and teachers, no transactions happen online. Revenue is a concern which
the team needs to look closely into. Simply charging for verifying teacher
profiles or an profile promotion revenue may not be sufficient to create
healthy revenues.
