Seems a bit disingenuous for the creator to scrape public info and then charge for it. Like everyone else has said, can't see what the product is, but to pay 20$ a month for notifications and a "community" that could contain 1 person or 10,000 people seems a bit much.
I think it would be beneficial to reposition to "Help find the best IPO to buy" because saying that this data doesn't exist for free is just not true and makes me a user feel like you are running a get rich quick scheme.
Not to say that there isn't value here. I think people would love to discuss IPO's and making it easier to do research, etc. is definitely a value add. Just think the messaging needs to change.
Also, you mentioned that the 20$ (or 240$ per year) will be made back and from an investment standpoint, that's also not necessarily true. Think it's praying on the misconception people have that IPO will always be profitable so I should pay 20$ to invest right away.
Disingenuous? There's no value in collating information from different sources?
None of the words on the home page imply the information can't be manually collated for free.
And this is a Show HN, it's reasonable to assume you would be the first person in the IPOs.fyi community. That doesn't make anything OP is doing disingenuous. All communities start with 1 person...
