Our goal is to help like-minded business owners learn from each other in a deeper, more intimate way online. Think of it like as a place where startups act as a personal advisory board to each other.
Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback? - http://beta.vocaltap.com
Do you think your competitors follow your progress closely is a good idea? As far as I understand from the homepage of VocalTap, it helps startups to follow each others progress, right?
So a better analogy would be - rather than a networking event where everyone exchanges business cards, it's more like a small monthly breakfast meetup where small biz owners discuss how they're growing their business, cutting cost, tackling employee challenges, or whatever else.
As for peer group I see it in 2 ways: 1. You know the people but don't have a weekly/etc. meeting 2. People who you don't know but working on building a product/company
Another thought would be more of a mastermind group. Limit it to 10 people or something and focus on weekly meetings to encourage everyone to get things done. What did you do last week, what are you planning to accomplish, etc.
Just a thought
