Startup idea :(looking for a cto) a- Crowdsourced Vibe Check app (you ask and someone uploads a live short video)

Interesting .. few points

1. places where one needs vibe check
   a) bars/nightlife/ restaurants - If zomato, Swiggy dine out can start this anytime with tie up with outlet . Verified only live videos allowed b) Live concerts / Events c) Tourist spots - Not sure how many ? But here someone may be happy if less crowded :) d)Any other

Figure out the places where people require vibe check
Figure out you can source it -Anyone , Owner etc( owner would be cheaper ) Monetisation options (this is a big challenges- may be ads / promotions) Can anyone replace you like zomato etc

Scaling -As someone mentioned above .plan for global . Can go big

How did you get this brilliant idea?

IMO, Supply is challenging to figure out.

What will be the incentive for the person uploading the "vibe" ? Is a person who's on a nice time out can really be bothered to upload videos ? That too if he pays attention to your notification ?

How will you keep track of his location ? A single ping in sector 29 can mean about 10 restuarants based on the location accuracy.

Maybe you can partner up with different establishments to share a video feed with you directly ? You can share revenues with them. But there is an issue with this.
On average, the vibe at a place tend to be the same on average. Popular ones are overcrowded. Unpopular ones are deserted. Newly opened ones are unpredictable. So your actual clients are the ones who are in the process of defining themselves. They do have a need for advertising on your platform, but its a short term need. You would need constant attention on the churn.

But on the flip side, you can easily trial this out using insta and grapevine.

Great idea ! Check "vibes" of all clubs on Saturday before leaving house with friends.

Interesting idea but lots of challenges, especially monetization. You'd be limited to tier 1 and 2 cities, that too the non premium crowd that needs to vibe check places.

Should go global early on, but that's a different challenge in itself.
