Ask HN: Built an interactive textbook for math. Non profit or startup route?
1•nutanc•1h ago
We have created a product which is an interactive textbook for math. It covers the CBSE curriculum in India. The idea being that in this day and age why should students read from static textbooks and digital textbooks should mean much more than PDF links. Now that we have all the content we have to make a choice. Should we go the Khan Academy route and become a non profit(Highest impact). Or go the startup route and charge a subscription fee etc. We are leaning towards a non profit as most students and parents want exam tech(tech which will help them in their exams) and actually are not too interested in actually learning. Getting them to pay might be a big effort. We dont want to become yet another byjys etc.
