Hey everyone. This is my latest product: Question Hero WHAT PROBLEM AM I SOLVING? In my opinion there are a few: 1) "Fear of looking dumb" (FOLD) - this is the phenomenon where you KNOW people have questions for you, but when you say "any questions?" no-one speaks. Question Hero allows your audience to safely and anonymously ask the question that's itching their brain, which should in theory increase audience engagement. 2) Filtering out off topic or inappropriate questions - I was on a training course last year that was being taken by Jeff Gothelf and Jeff Patton (both best selling authors in the product development space and consultant product people to every big Silicon Valley company you could think of). There were maybe 80 folk in the room, each of whom had paid thousands to be there. out of that 80 there were 2 a-holes who continuously interrupted Jeff & Jeff with questions that were very specific to them and them alone. After a couple of hours of this the whole room was agitated and tensions were high. I ended up going over to one of the Jeffs and told him that they were losing the room by continuing to break their flow and address the needy questions of these 2 individuals. ANYWAY.... the point being, this is where I wished they were using something like Question Hero so that these questions could be taken offline and if The Jeffs were inclined, they could answer them later. 3) Time - there is always the reality that a speaker can only physically take a finite amount of questions. With Question Her, the Q&A can continue to be asked and answered even after the event is over. WHO IS THE CUSTOMER? I'm hoping that after I launch this will become clear. Maybe no-one haha. I'm thinking people who regularly speak to a room. Whether that's coaches, public speakers, department heads, conference regulars. From personal experience I regularly address a large room (as a department head) and I also attend a lot of similar events where I am simply someone in the crowd. I can see the benefits on both sides. IS THE PRODUCT VALIDATED? I'd say "yes" to this because my day-job organisation has already signed up to use it. Also most people I've run it by, including the awesome community at Indie Hackers, seem to really "get it". Also, I wasn't aware of any similar competitors when I started building Question Hero (although I knew there must be) but since telling more people about it, I've now heard of other products that tackle the same problem. Some of them have huge companies as their customers. This doesn't phase me in the slightest, it's just extra validation that there's a real market out there for a product such as this. HOW IS IT MONETISED? I'm starting with a very generous and simple one-plan deal. Everything, for a year, for $50. This is a further validation test. This launch pricing will only be available for a few weeks and then I'll roll out more standard monthly and yearly plans (and possibly one-off pricing for x number of events). Hmmm... I can't think of anything else to say here but I really hope at least some of you find this useful. Thanks so much if you read down this far 🤘 TRY IT OUT If you have any questions for me then obviously I am here, but you could also head over to https://questionhero.co and leave me a question there.

Hey, I own a presentation company and am a speaker myself. Is it possible to have a cobranded portal for us to use with our clients at their gigs, and possibly a rev share model? Msnglnk.com
