The team said AskBrains Would be better than LINKEDIN, they're pretty confident guys.

That is their main goal, but would take years to even compete with the popularity of linkedin. The features might be over the edge but attracting professionals and the likes would be the bottleneck of this platform. Since their IEO was finished, we are expecting that their developments will be faster. Are we going to see AskBrains in the very near future competing linkedin? Or our colleagues using AskBrains? Let us see...

Linkedin alone has over 600 million members. Beginner entrepreneurs, startup founders, and project teams view these networks as the main tool for connecting with experts and potential investors. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of Linkedin and similar platforms in this regard is low.
Top-class professionals and experts registered in professional networks receive dozens of messages every day. Most of these messages are spam or offers to invest in dubious projects. Unsurprisingly, experts don't even open most of their InMails, let alone read them. As a result, those users who have a really relevant question to ask or a worthy opportunity to offer have almost no chance of attracting the expert's attention.
AskBrains uses a completely different business model: users will need to pay for connections and expert assistance. The platform will offer a wide range of formats for such consultations: voice and video calls, messaging, meetings in person, and long-term mentorship programs. All experts will have to undergo thorough verification. A unique AI algorithm will match each project or request to the right expert.Surely people will use ask brains because of the advantages over LinkedIn and other similar platforms

Sounds interesting business model. With that system, you can already minimize unwanted mails or communications. If a user will pay, obviously he will optimize the usage of AskBrains and not spam the inbox of those experts. And on the other hand, experts or professionals know that if it comes from AskBrains, the mail is pretty serious and not just another spam. That might be of interest from those experts. One major hurdle is to get on board those experts, professionals and technical people on this platform.
