Thanks for the feedback. We didn't go into detail about our business model. For us, we see the social community as the first step to driving social commerce. We intend to leverage on the community to drive product sales for brands/products that target black women's hair. It's definitely scalable. Jackie Aina and Alissa Ashley are great suggestions, definitely intend to work with them.

Theres definitely opportunity, I can see it happening, a lot of women use youtube as an opportunity to look up styling videos and theres a definite market, don't think why their normal-look-for-good-style process can add in a more specific search process

>you're targeting a demographic that SV doesn't usually pay attention to.
Bullshit. Silicon Valley neither targets black women nor ignores black women. Silicon Valley targets everyone.
You should totally work with black beauty YouTubers like Jackie Aina and Alissa Ashley!
