#23You're offering to let people know that shares will be available in the secondary markets the day after the IPO is priced and shares are sold (often buying FROM people who bought in the IPO). The distinction here is important because in an IPO that "pops" on the first day of trading, somebody who buys shares on the secondary market in normal trading is not going to be able to buy them at the IPO price. (They may even have a hard time buying them at the opening price in secondary trading...)

#26I would love to get a free preview or 7 free days or something before I decide to pay. Would like to see what the content looks like :)
Heard this feedback from a few folks and definitely agree. How do you think I should differentiate the paid vs free option?
But an X week trial is probably a good option as well to give people an idea without having to keep up a free and non-free version.

#27This is an interesting concept however I think it is priced too high. I also agree with others that it would be helpful to see what it looks like before signing up. Good luck!
Thank you for sharing this feedback, it's something I was wondering. My thinking for this pricing is that if you just act on one of the signals and are right, you will hopefully have a return of more than a year's worth of subscription costs YMMV
If it were me, I'd start on a leads model - see how many you can drive and get paid per lead, then switch to revshare when you're confident the lead quality is good.
You also then have a massive email database of users interested in financial markets and services (because it was free to sign up) - plenty of opportunity to market them there, products, weekly tips, whatever.

After all, customers will pay you for convenience, not proprietary data. As other commenters noted, this data is all freely available on NYSE, et al.
Your value prop == 'aggregated list of all upcoming IPOs in your inbox'. Not 'some' IPOs. You can demonstrate that the product works well by providing one free sample.

#29My brokerage (Fidelity) does this for free. But the problem is not knowing about the IPO, it's getting an allocation. As a retail investor, it would seem my position size is not big enough to get any shares. I know this varies by brokerage, so this may or may not be typical of others. If you could pool together retail investors to increase the possibility of getting shares allocated, that would be something special..…
They buy IPO's after they launch, and then sell them after a set duration, automatically managing inflow of new and outflow of old. Youre not able to buy specific companies, youre instead buying into the idea, trends, and behaviors of IPOs as a whole. They also dont capture the huge initial jump in price.
Go with a 60:40 IPO:FPXI to capture all the ipo momentum in the world.
