Hi! At first I wanted to build something similar for regular folks that would be looking for online tools. But then I thought that while it could work, it would require a lot of additional work (researching how price tiers works for each website, does tool have free tier available etc.) and then presenting it in a nice, fancy way (screenshots, logos etc.).

So looking at the amount of "frontend" work I thought that I could pivot into targeting people that are not "regular" users. But rather: - people looking for ideas for their business - existing business researching competition or businesses to partner up with - some general way to track trends, see what was done and in what way etc. - maybe marketing people?

That is my current idea. Do you think it makes sense?

If you are looking at the pro user you're competing against CrunchBase in my opinion

https://www.crunchbase.com/

Whenever I've been doing business development I've either had a subscription or thought about getting one. Also LinkedIn.

That's amazing, thank you very much for sharing!

I had no idea about crunchbase. Hmm, so I guess the idea here is that I would be building crunchbase for poor people. It looks like they are charging 99$ per month or 588$ per year, for 4M entries (with far more info that I would have, and far more features). So the question is, could I steal some of their customers by offering much smaller amount of data with much smaller price?

I am wondering, if I would have 50 000 entries looking similar to what I already have in my demo (but with better search capabilities), would it be worth, let's say 5$ per month (x searches per day or something) and/or maybe 50$/100$ for a whole database dump in a .csv format?

My demo looks like that currently - https://lazarustest.eu.pythonanywhere.com/
