Hey everyone, Mahyad, co-founder and CEO of SigmaOS here. PH has been an amazing community for us over the last two years. We launched in 2021 to an incredible reception, becoming Product of the Day/Week/Month, and again in 2022 with SigmaOS v1.0 (which has been nominated for Product of the Year!). The product has come a long way, and you can read our year in review here: https://blog.sigmaos.com/sigmaos.... As a team of 5 taking on the big players like Chrome and Safari, it’s been quite a challenge! If you have any questions on launching, fundraising, building a product, or anything else as we begin 2023, drop a line in the comments 👇

What is your top challenge at this stage of the journey?
Mahyad
@jreckseidler Keeping a balance on developing a product people genuinely love and enjoy, but also distributing it so more people can get the joy of a better browsing experience :)

@mahyad It's truly the best "rethink" of the browser and subsequent experience. As you know, I love your product and vision. Keep chargin' man!

How do you monetise browser apps? Also - I am reviewing you soon.

@francescod_ales Heyo, excited to see what your thoughts are 🙈 In terms of monetisation, we have a free version for hobbyist but our focus is on monthly subscriptions for professionals like creatievs and teams like startups. We are staying away from search engine deals (which most browser get monetisation from) which means we would have to partner with search engines and make money off of people’s data
Mahyad
@francescod_ales Rather, we want to be aligned with our users and only charge for genuine value exchange, similar to the ethos of Notion or Superhuman

Just here to congratulate you on your journey so far! :)
