If I wanted to build a directory of pre-Seed to seed companies that an investor would like to invest in…would that be a good idea?

This was great, I actually built and sold a couple of directories site many years ago but they were local niche directories for brick and mortar businesses like hairstylists and I did one for chiropractors. This was at the time when the local marketers were renting out lead generation sites before Google jumped into the business. I have one question if you are not an expert in something that you can easily build a directory site in like the example you gave us what is your recommendations for content generation and coming up with niches?

Hey Devon, I’m curious about how you brokered those deals to sell the directories for brick-and-mortar businesses. I’m bullish on the idea that directories for those types of businesses are back in style.

I’m planning on starting in states that I’m most familiar with the local business landscape and work from there.

Would you be open to a 15-30 min chat about your experience? I’m looking to provide value as well to help you with any challenges too.

Hey Tim,

Not sure if this is the place, but I've got 2 business models & 2 Questions wanted to get your thoughts on following the Tricycleday.com movdel

1.

Newletter- Local things to do, events, etc.. in North County SD.

Agency - GMB Agency

Directory - Directory of local businesses, restaurants, hotels, etc...

Question: North County is 5 different cities, so wondered if that's too difficult

2.

Newletter - Business owners considering an exit and Entrepreneurs interested in buying businesses and M&A growth strategies.

Agency - Helping businesses scale, profit & exit their businesses

Directory - Business Brokers, M&A Advisors, Legal & Tax Experts , etc....

Question: This directory seems a bit weak,

Any thoghts on either approach?

REALLY appreciate it
