I like the idea but not that you have to pay to see the info... Why not getting a cut in the investment or the side-project purchase? You will also align your interest with those of the people selling or looking for investment. I think that's a healthier relationship. This is just my opinion but anyways, good luck with your project! Looks promissing

@yago_martinez_falero_hein Hi Yago, the main reason for this is to stop spam, like other marketplaces, users get a lot of spam messages from people who are not even interested in buying but they are messaging just to get more info about the product. This was the efficient way I came up, but I am open to suggestions let's see in which direction things may go

While this has got an absolutely cool MVP, the site could have used a pre-launch community. How? There should have been a waiting list or community of entrepreneurs who would have dropped the first 20 listings. I saw 3 there. If I also had a very obvious button to get notifs of any future, I would not mind. Having 3 side projects to invest in is good but could be better.

@daniel_obiokeke Hi Daniel, you got a point here. The site has "Email Notification" option at the bottom of homepage but I guess it is not visible to all the visitors. I need to highlight it or show it in a popup. *Suggestion noted*

Congrats on the launch! Love the concept and simple design. Besides the $ investment, can buyers pitch how they could add value to the business? Often sellers are looking for more than just money when giving away equity

@brianyun Hey Brian, you are right... I can add the field where the user can tell what other help they required from the investors. Thank you for the suggestion

The UI/UX is simple and I like it. I have a suggestion, instead of asking for payment every single time try monthly subscriptions, that will filter spammers and give the people posting projects a better chance of getting viewed. Congratulations on the launch. Good one.

I like UX of the Sideinvest. Really intuitive to follow. The product itself might find its niche in connecting small investors with indie hackers looking for support. I'm in 😉

I actually love the idea and the UX is really nice. On the other hand, I am wondering of the long term investment relationship for a business with their investors. In one hand it can create true leverage for a business to start, get funded and find the right market fit to scale afterwards with more traditional investment actors. On the other end, I am wondering about the equity dilution that could stop VCs or other firm to invest afterwards. In any case, I think that it is a great idea that will push entrepreneurs to find alternative investment possibilities if the traditional actors don't seem to buy in at first.

@maxime_girres Hey Maxime, I am planning to register the side projects (using stripe atlas or any other platform) and handle the dilution legally. Let's see how it goes and I will keep the updates clear on the website. Thank you for mentioning your thoughts :)

I like the overall idea, and the differentiator where you can actually invest instead of buy. Requires more projects on the platform to make it a regular place to go to!
