How would you manage the landing page for this 2-sided marketplace?

Hi there.

I recently started melbado and it some good traction so far.

Essentially it brings together startups with early adopters. So my question is, do I actually need two different landing pages? One for the early adopters and one for the startups? What is the best practice here, and how about SEO?

At the moment I'm running with two different landing pages.

But I don't think this is quite optimal.
What would you do?

      Hi. Thank you! This is really valuable. You mentioned that I could develop melbado in the direction of Product Hunt OR in the direction of a feedback widget, etc. I'd like to actually do both. E.g. let startups showcase the praise/feedback they got in their public profile. Later I'd add other things like a public roadmap builder etc. Do you think this possible?

        I'd always err on the side of mastering one thing over trying many things. ProductHunt today could add a feedback widget, and thousands would use it. They could probably also bring out a roadmap builder, and people would use it. If ProductHunt started as a discovery service-feedback widget-roadmap builder, they probably wouldn't have gotten anywhere.

        In the early days, it's easier to pick and choose one lane that works.

          Cool. Thanks. I've actually just incorporated your feedback.

          1. The main landing page is now the one where startups are already listed.
          2. I've rewritten the for-startups landing page, because I think it wasn't clear at all.

          Thanks again!
