Comment on Launch HN: Eduflow (YC S17) – Async Social Learning

Comments

I am in the LMS space so I think I can throw in a few comments. First, great job on the website. Well designed and explains it well. I say this as a founder who struggles to get our own copy correct :)

Your biggest challenge will be figuring out exactly what market segment you are targeting. I see that you are doing Corporate and Educational institutions. Very different ballgame in terms of their needs, sales process etc. Trust me because I am doing this daily :)

All the best. Always good to see competition in this space because even though there are so many players, I think we are still in the early days on eLearning in general.

Yes, that is definitely something we talk a lot about. On one hand, we are positioned in a way that is very broad, which means "not the best for anything specific". On the other hand, I (want to?) believe that there is a way to provide a horizontal product in this space.

I take a lot of inspiration from Notion, Airtable, Trello, Typeform. They solve a generic problem and are almost mental models in product form. The modularity of Eduflow means that our customers are using us for very different things internally, which means that:

1. There are many gateways to using Eduflow. If you are looking for a solution to a specific problem, we can probably do it pretty well.

2. If we are used across departments and functions, then we become a lot more sticky, useful and valuable long term.

95%+ of our customers come inbound today, but you are totally right about the different way to approach these different types of clients.

@codegeek I have tried reaching you vie the email on your profile but it bounces.
