#29: Are you building just a perk or a sticky product? - Leonie Ellerbrock, Viktoria Lindner
Mental health and marketplaces - both are hot topics! Isn’t it a great idea to build a marketplace for mental health services? Viktoria Lindner and Leonie Ellerbrock, co-founders of Mindsurance, share a story of launching such a marketplace and then walking away from this model.
Topics we discuss:
- What’s the difference between building a perk (a nice-to-have) and a sticky product that delivers true value
- Weaknesses of marketplaces as a business model
- How investors can make a difference in your startup journey and what to look out for while choosing yours
- Founder mindset necessary to build a venture-backed startup
