What does Betterfly do?
Betterfly is the easy way to find the people – not companies- to help you learn, look and feel better. Betterfly excludes companies to focus only on people, making it easier and more efficient to find the right person to help you learn, look and feel better in over 1,000 ways, from Accordion to Zumba.
How are they different?
The company feels that excluding companies from the search gives it a competitive advantage by allowing its users to search with more specificity and allowing users to compare apples to apples, people to people.
We also have live booking on our site so users can book appointments in real time!
Why could Betterfly be BIG?
Betterfly is set up to be the ultimate consumer guide to personal betterment. On Betterfly, they can find people that are best suited to their personal criteria, and read what others have to say about their experiences. When trying to perfect your French pickup lines you’ll be working with Jacques the French teacher, not the whole Je Parle Français School. On Yelp or Citysearch, you’d find a review of a great hair salon, or a new gym, and you’d have to scour the comments hoping to find a name. On Betterfly, you know immediately who you should ask for when you get there. With the economy the way it is, service providers are looking for more ways to build their brand and reach new clients. Betterfly answers those needs, with a free service. And who doesn’t like free stuff? We’ve already gotten a tremendous response in just the few months since we launched, and there’s no reason why things shouldn’t continue to grow.
How they plan to make money:
I would love to discuss this over the phone. We plan on making money in numerous ways. One way involves a payment system we will implement in which we will act as a neutral third party and holds the money in escrow until we verify that the service was actually rendered.
Our thoughts:
No thoughts at the moment. Very interesting!
