Looking for investment capital? Needing startup talent? Looking for service providers? Whether you are an entrepreneur, investor, advisor, job seeker or service provider you’ll be interested in visiting this site. Startup Addict is a social networking platform for the startup community. But Startup Addict is much more than a destination; it is a toolbox of people, skills and resources. As a member, you can create a custom profile, network with the startup world, mingle, comment, share, IM and email. You can also look for funding, get advice, and join groups and forums. Browse startups, investors, advisors, service providers, and job seekers. Each search topic will bring up a different matrix or trade. Browse startup industries such as real estate, legal, sports, travel, marketing, Web 2.0, sales, SEO, and automotive, among many others. Entrepreneurs can also get their most difficult questions answered. Some advisors give free advice and others charge a fee per question. As entrepreneurs can then leave a positive or negative response based on advisors answers, this will force advisors to give you relevant and important advice. Startup Addict has also created an affiliate network in order to pay users who create traffic and build the Startup Addict community. It offers $9.95 - $29.95 commission to affiliates for every user that subscribes to the Startup Addict network above the free basic user service.
“Come join the startup community that embraces greatness. Ranging from entrepreneurial musicians and real estate moguls to the next big Web 2.0 startups. Get your idea financed and brought to fruition with the help of other startup addicts. Build your team of specialized startup heroes from your supercharged Rolodex and community of business savvy gladiators to thwart the powers of convention. Build your profile and shout your startup idea from the highest peak of Mount Capitalism until you have enough mojo to be recognized for dreaming big and being great.”
The site pretends to be like a “virtual rolodex” that you can use at any time to connect with people that can help your business. It tries to solve a problem that all startups face: a highly disconnected startup community. Startups, investors, job seekers and service providers all need one another to survive and grow. This online community will probably help entrepreneurs and startup companies find investors, talents, expert advice and service providers.
Will the site generate enough traffic to keep it going? How many people are willing to pay a subscription in this early stage? How cost-effective are the services offered? Will they improve the site’s functionality?
