I'm working on a website where entrepreneurs can come to ask questions about their specific problems and where only PHDs and PHD students can answer those questions. I know they can already go on Quora or on StackExchange, but these websites tend to discard questions that are too specific to a person's own peculiar situation. Therefore, I see my website more as a Problem/Solution website than a Question/Answer website. Furthermore, entrepreneurs will be able to ask questions for free, but also, to add a reward for the best answers, like on 99logos. What do you think about this idea? Would you use it? If so, what kind of question would you ask there?
I like the idea, but before you even tackle the challenge of educating people about this resource (which is huge), you have to ask a bigger question: How large do you think the market is for this type of exchange? How many entrepreneurs are asking these types of question and need help that only PHDs can provide? What are alternatives for these entrepreneurs to get this information today? How hard is it for them to do that today?
Seems like the use case is very narrow. Can you think of another use case that is a bit more broad but not as generic as Quora and Clarity?
