thoughts, 1 to 10, how dumb of an idea is this

Not a space I know much about to be honest. I would assume what the universities use is a tough contract to change so I’d focus on students as a starting point.

If their current experience sucks they will enjoy a better one. They may not be willing or able to pay for it though I think that is your challenge with students.

yeah most definitely agree

pricing and it being worthwhile are the main questions

also the need to figure out the main painpoints and understanding their necessities

Selling SaaS licenses to schools is next to impossible

Students are broke af

Maintaining software as a non dev is extremely expensive and more competitive than ever

In business I generally recommend an intersection of something you're very good at and love deeply

it'd be notion templates

wouldn't be developing software

Karnage asked most of my questions already

If it's just a notion template, make it quickly and see how many friend give you a buck or 2 per month for it. Just try it

thank you ser 🫡💜

People generally are more willing to pay for something if it makes them money. Saving time is not as strong of a selling point in B2C. Students bring students too…

I personally would only try it if it takes me less than a day to wing together a sample, even if it doesn’t work as intended - just to show to people I know and see what they say. If for some reason they are eager to find out where to get one, then I’d ask for money up front. If they get weirded out and back out it’s a sign it’s just a nice to have and not an absolute needed thing. You want to sell things people need so you don’t have to constantly play a salesperson.

Worst thing is spending a week to make something fully functional when no one is willing to pay for it. They might want it and might say they’ll pay but when it comes to forking over cash they could just back out.
