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?
Why only entrepreneurs? Why not let all professionals seek help in return to paid advise? Same is the case with PHDs. Why not go after all those who have an expertise in something? That brings me to the question, how are you going to be too different from Clarity itself? Do you have money to back you up?
I'm sorry to sound so critical but do think hard about what value you are genuinely offering before getting too firm with your idea. Nothing wrong in throwing open a website to test out your idea, but let it do just that - test your idea, nothing more.
Think about adding an academic angle to the whole thing by letting experts offer answers to burning questions out there and throw open these stock answers in the form of videos. Stringed together answers on a subject, and let people pay for something that is specific after they have liked the stock answer.
