memberYou already has 1000 members!
My friends at memberYou (see my first coverage) already have 1000 members – 48 days after the launch. Congratulations!
Last week I had lunch with co-founder Jonas Zeier.
My learnings from the lunch:
# The great majority of all members comes from Basel. That means that the regional strategy is very important for this leisure community
# Very soon, they will organize a soccer event with Marco Streller (Swiss national soccer team member) – this means that you can actually play soccer with Marco Streller. Isn’t that cool?
# Monetization of the platform will be tricky. The first goal is to attract as many members as possible
# It will be tricky to go from regional to national and from national to international. You need evangelists in every region. First goal has to be to build a strong home base in Basel

Hey Remo
Danke für deine Glückwünsche. Wir wissen, dass es sehr schwierig werden wird memberYou zu einer bedeutenden Freizeit-Community zu pushen. Wir haben noch einige neue Ideen, wie wir uns von herkömmlichen Communities differenzieren wollen. Dies betriff auch das ganze Finanzierungsmodell. Wir werden dich weiter auf dem Laufenden halten und hoffen, dass memberYou in Zukunft die lästige Suche nach Sportpartnern einiges erleichtert.
Bis bald Roland
