Two $bn businesses here.
1. Video streaming sales. Whatnot ($5bn GMV), Tiktok Shop ($50bn GMV). Fast growth commission on sale model. But what is it? Live stream discovery and chat (NIP-53) and ecommerce (NIP-99). Build on Nostr rails solves chicken-and-egg, reduces time to market, and then pitch it to Whatnot users who can just use it, without knowing how Nostr works. I am building this with nostr:nprofile1qqsgthcq5tm2jxz9x4xg6tvlh26qq2actdpztwh2kc86lvjc03gr36spzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtckgrenr
2. ERP with workplace chat. Slack (aq by Salesforce for $27bn). SaaS MRR model. But what is it? A workplace identity (NIP-01) and SSO (NIP-42&98) system with chat and where data can move between silos (on Nostr!). Compete with other ERP and workforce systems on two key principles 1) interoperable with vast open source ecosystem for free. 2) no platform lock in ever, take all your data and leave whenever you want.
There are more. These bones are great. Just need businesses on them.
If you were to integrate the live stream component with a global/following feed with strict video nevents (NIP-71), could this potentially displace more of the b2b stack with that additional feature?
I understand it would be extending more into a “tiktok” replacement strategy play, but consumers will want what they are familiar with as long as they aren’t expected to handle the heavy-lifting technicals behind it.
I agree. There's lots of cross over. Creator interface for lives and videos is similar. Twitch/Kick profiles feature lives and clips prominently. Whatnot sellers clip hits from their lives and market those on other socials. Tiktok Shop sells product on both lives and clips.
One day!
For now very focussed on getting from lives -> live streaming sales and ecomm
Thanks for your interest
