The concept of this educational platform is based on the creator economy, which is currently a hot topic in the SocialFi narrative of Web3. While I am intrigued by the product at a high level yet can not see how they plan to make it sustainable as a business model for the following reasons:
-
The project's well-designed and intuitive UI/UX is a strong point.
-
The working mobile apps and extensive database of courses are significant milestones for the project.
-
While the subscription model is a strong point, there is not a clear description of its benefits on the website (e.g. as a startup founder, I would appreciate a concise and very clear explanation of how the platform could benefit me, especially given that this is already a pretty competitive field).
-
The biggest current problem with "2earn" models is obvious. It's not clear how Continuum plans to stay out of the death loop of such models. While the Whitepaper mentions "Balancing Demand and Supply" and utilization, it is not enough to address the rise and fall of "2earn" models. All startups entering this field should fully understand the weak points and explain their outstanding mechanics. This is not a 'pre-Stepn" era anymore.
-
Many figures in the deck do not correspond to social activity (a subjective assumption)
-
At first glance, it is difficult to realize why there is a need for two types of economy units: tokens and NFTs (as stated in the Whitepaper). If the main purpose is to onboard new creators and learners, excessive use of all possible Web3 mechanics may not be a good idea.
To sum it up, all concerns are related to token economy and particularly to its design which strongly affects the entire business model(including allocations and so forth). Taking a deep dive into it is highly recommended. 4 stars despite the concerns mentioned above as I personally think that the creator economy is a feasible solution for the future of content creation so its worth supporting and critiquing such products appropriately.
