Email-First Startups

Since I run an email newsletter startup (not quite the same thing as the OP is discussing)it's fair to say I believe in the value of email.

Surprises me how many people though tell me we should build and sell an App instead. Which market would you rather gain traction in - people with smartphones or people with an email address?

I think OP was right in saying that email can be used to later up sell on an app or other product. Once you've built a good list, you can even ask them if they would prefer a native app.
