- SparksZilla 7y agoThanks! Everything we publish at Holloway is built to be improved over time, so let us know if there's anything we missed so we can make this as helpful of a resource as possible!
- tschwimmer 7y agoWhat's the revenue model? You guys deserve to be compensated (richly) for the content; it's awesome. I'm just wondering how you folks make money.
- SparksZilla 7y agoWhat a lovely question. Top of mind for us, too. Our first Guide, on Equity Compensation, is entirely free. Think of it like our public sandbox. For now, we're thinking all future Guides will be available for purchase (one-time payment and you get digital access + updates). The first Guide we'll launch for purchase is The Holloway Guide to Raising Venture Capital (https://www.holloway.com/g/venture-capital/about https://www.holloway.com/g/venture-capital/about), which we're hoping to have out in June. This post is an excerpt from that. We'll also be posting more on our blog, like this post, to build up awareness of what we're up to. Our policy internally is that if we're going to post content to promote one of our products, though, it needs to be helpful to readers on its own. It can't just be content marketing junk to get you to click. So, fingers crossed. We're making a bet on people being willing to pay for what we're creating!
- luminati 7y agoYou guys certainly have product market fit for the free articles (atleast using HN as a proxy) :) Curious to see if the same reception is there for the paid content, especially given that the topics you cover have a lot of free articles and videos (e.g.: YC has an entire library of it). Good luck!
- simonebrunozzi 7y agoHow do you decide who is going to collaborate with you? Is there a specific business model behind the company?
