Target Audience:
Reddit enthusiasts, aspiring entrepreneurs, students, and professionals seeking expert advice, mentorship, or networking within specific communities.

Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Unlike traditional platforms, it leverages Reddit’s real-time engagement and community reputation system to identify genuine experts, creating a niche-focused professional network.
Launch Strategy:
Start by building a minimal prototype targeting one niche, promote via Reddit threads and social media, gather feedback, and offer limited free plans with optional paid upgrades. Use testimonials and simple outreach to grow organically.
