    One of the best videos I've seen on marketplace startups. Well worth the 49 minutes.

    "I think the common wisdom is, find a problem you have and then solve that problem, you know, I think thats a bad idea..." So anyway, I had this direct problem which pertained to me one day and needed a plumber. lol

    The sound quality sucks, especially for the main speaker. Any way of fine tuning it?

    Is there a specific number of merchants on a platform that work! I mean lets guess at a number of 1000 business. When less than 1000 merchants may cause the price to increase or make it not competitive enough. More than 1000 merchants lesson the amount of opportunity for all the merchants. (Depending obviously on your industry and size of market.) If this makes no sense please be gentle. I am asking this as I am based in a country with a relatively tiny population and then each region is even smaller with the types of services that may only be relative in one location if that makes sense. Thanks

    Stupid question. This is wonderful but unfortunately I am still trying to learn how to create enable (front-end) forms/pages for members to set-up and post ads, pages etc. I have tried all the marketplace plugins but it seems like Woo Vendor are married to PayPal so the vendor system will not work without the gateway. I am just looking for a simple (front-end) post or page system so members can post in the front end. Thanks

      @@welder161q tbh it’s hard to build a marketplace but to also see gaps in the markets😂 I was thinking doing trading and investing in stock market under a business entity as then I’ll pay very little tax. I’m good when it comes to the stock market but the taxes especially in the U.K… not worth doing it under personal name😪

    After listening to this guy for the most part of the video I can say I’m not inspired by him not I would ever trust him with my money as an investor and expect a return. This dude is just another CEO wannabe telling the public what he knows they want to hear and the rest is just bs and startup jargon that’s been used over and over by countless companies. No, this company is not a unicorn, more like a camel I would say.
