The Problem
1. Users need reliable quality content
2. Content is available
3. Content is a slave to advertising
4. Quality & reliability of content is in question
The Solution
Short Term Solution: Instill behavior wherein users pay for
quality content they consume
Long Term Solution: Encourage trustworthy content for
users, who can signal satisfaction through buying decisions,
by providing an alternative stable source of revenue to
content creators in the form of paywalls.

is more authentic/

who generate this content

Consumer Behavior – a Survey
Who is our target?
Global – 18+ years of age, Digital/ Tech Savvy,
Looking for access to quality journalism,
conditioned to pay for access to content
India – 18- 40 years of age, Looking for
Educational/ Career related specialized
information, not conditioned to paying for access
to content
What people seek?
Value Convenience
Insight
Urgency Scarcity Authority
People are willing to pay for content which boasts
of at least one of these features
Target: Demand or Supply?
Supply
Relatively better
ROI
Demand
In a chicken-and-egg
situation, we believe that
SUPPLY is the right way
to go to create a pull-
effect.
What sells is quality.
Until quality is assured,
generating demand is
challenging.
More importantly, good
quality supply drives higher
and sustainable demand.
Defining the ‘Suppliers’ Incentive
We become a platform that empowers content
creators to be regarded as domain experts
Through a rating system for suppliers of
content, which will ensure quality due to a
constant feedback mechanism (Differential
pricing)
- Champion
- Ninja
- Pro
The Role we Play: This can work in India!
Placement-specific content targeted to students and professionals
seeking unique expertise

2
Tie up with top-rated Quora authors to source specialized content that has
external marketability
3
Tie up with educational institutes to offer study materials and unique
research articles
The Role we Play: The US & Markets Abroad
Tie-up with NY Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, in order to
maintain competitive edge with Blendle

2
Access to Exclusive Pieces from Industry experts, relevant for the target
audience
Eg: A piece from Elon Musk in Silicon Valley will find major audience among
budding entrepreneurs
3
Culturally relevant pieces for immigrants living away from home, fulfilling
feelings of Nostalgia and patriotism Eg: Raghuram Rajan

Building a piece-meal
payment behaviour
Is it convenient to keep making small
payments?
Pay as You Go: Induces TRIAL
Pay in One Go: Ensures Stickiness
CASH SUBSCRIPTIONS
Pay as you Go, but Conveniently.
Small losses hurt (proportionally more) than big losses.
