Raketa Hub
Old concept of a library - adjusted to the new reality!
Being as close as possible to our potential customers is our strategy in building the product. We want to hear feedback and build a product which solved a problem. Share your thoughts and stay tuned for more updates!
While translating this concept into a business we decided to call it: Raketa Hub. “Raketa” comes from the Russian language and means rocket.
As the first successful launch of a human in space opened a whole new universe of discoveries, you will discover a whole new universe with every book you read.
For the monetization, we decided to go with the subscription-based business model. Since we aim to build a community, we would like to establish a long term relationship with our members. The subscription-based business model allows us to do so by making our product affordable to the end customers and profitable as a business in the long run.
As an inspiration, we took the old concept of a library which has been out there for thousands of years.
Since then, the world has evolved a lot and our lives became much more complex. It is important to make the process of getting your hands on a book as simple as possible. That is why we deliver the books straight to your home or office.
Once you’ve got the book, you have up to one month to read it. We do understand that your life is busy and we do not want to contribute to that in any way. That is why we decided to set a target of one book per month for every member of our reading hub. Most people can finish reading 20 pages within 30 minutes. It means that dedicating 15 minutes of your time per day is enough to finish a book per month.
To build up a community where people can meet other brilliant minds and share ideas, we will host regular meetings with our reading hub members.
About one year ago, I started reading again in hope to understand better how the world works. Book after book, it started making more sense up to the point I started understanding cross-references. It was a delightful experience and I was very happy to share my discoveries with my friends.
After a while, my understanding and interpretation of the books became insufficient so I became the guy who was borrowing books to my friends all the time. The discussions became more interesting and lead to more ideas.
The idea of lending books and discussing it made me think that it would be cool to find more people who have similar interests and extend the circle.
