Re: monetization, for the short term, we’ve got relationships built through my time at Honey that give us confidence we’ll be able to get above-average affiliate commissions. The costs to run this business are low, and we expect per-user purchase volume to be significantly higher than your average affiliate-driven review site.
That said, our end goal is to bypass affiliate altogether and become a marketplace like Amazon, only with more reliable/trustworthy content, and more fun. From there, the monetization possibilities are pretty much endless.
you may not want to mention the benefits your startup is getting from your previous employment. The company may feel that the relationships were theirs, not yours.
