Hello, Philipp,

It would be helpful to know more about your startup and your goals. Is your company strictly a for-profit enterprise? Or do you plan to share the product(s) you develop with the not-for-profit higher education community in a way that provides some value back to it (outside of access to the product itself)? To be frank, I’m reluctant to provide information in the form of market research to a startup that will later try to make a lot of money from universities (especially academic libraries) and end up being acquired by a corporate entity that has a long history of making billions in profit off libraries/universities and and the labor of our researchers. I've seen this situation too many times.

Regards,

Jody
