Curious if there are 'inside the box' monetization ideas, because those might be more easily understood and evaluated by an investor. And if there are reasons that they would not work with the product, that would be a good starting point for explaining why the 'out of the box' ideas might.

That's an interesting take. Thank you. Yeah, there are definitely plenty of "inside the box" routes that often seem like a known quantity but that doesn't mean they aren't worth discussing and exploring.

Being profitable, or having growing revenue, or both, is not something that investors tend to discount. Something like a high user growth ad supported website might even imply that the value users get from the site is so high that they put up with an advertising model...not that I'm suggesting the ad model, the ability to monetize something is a good way to filter for viability as a business.
