Hello @Cody Benedetto. I had been mulling over this exact idea. I have the system design for it, and have had a lot of that system in production since 2008, re-wrote and released a parallel version in 2018, then was about to do a final version with the pieces you brought up. But my feeling is that there is something big missing in the way you expressed it, though the idea itself is good / necessary. I cannot yet put my finger on what is missing, but I nearly have it. So I would vote

maybe

. I think it might fall apart at step

#1

but that

#2

and

#3

seem pretty obvious.

Hey Donovan! that’s super interesting, glad to hear someone else has thought about this too. Yeah, I’m trying to understand the best way to market/scale something like this in the startup community. My biggest concern is that in theory it sounds great but startups may not want someone to help them find an agency with all the tools and resources out there. A few opps fell into my lap like this but going out and finding clients for a service like this is challenging

I think this is a genuine business problem based on human beings themselves. Does a mime in the forest make a sound if a tree falls on him? It's one of those types of questions. Chicken or the egg, which came first? The original idea that someone requests help with is normally preconditioned by the one who is asking. The agency might come first as a necessity. Only a small portion of clients will be able to express their idea coherently and saliently. There is a need for some percentage of people of a surgeon who gets the idea out of them at all, or kindles in them the ability to even think about the idea. The startup community depending on the number of founders, often uses an agency as a sort of an unlisted co-founder. This is definitely a delicate area that I would love to work on with a collaborator at some point. I have thought a lot about this.

Hey Cody! I like this idea! As an agency owner, I also want to filter clients. Some clients are too hard to work with. IMO, It’s not about budget or needs it’s more about partnership and if we match to work together in a meaningful way.
