I'm creating a monetizable business-oriented web app. I know it will charge based on either a per user basis or with a multi-tier setup. How do I actually go about collecting payments? If you've created a SaaS, how did you collect payments?

I'd like to make a startup within the next few years. Having someone else to work with in getting the company going would be incredibly helpful, especially since I don't have any cash to actually pay an employee. It's rare to find wildly optimistic people with the risk tolerance to start a company, the drive to make something new, and the technical skills needed to actually execute. How do you find people like that?

I have a prototype of a site with potentially broad appeal when it gets big enough, but I worry that community fragmentation of multiple sub-communities early on would slow the growth of the site, so I can really only target one or a few closely related demographics. The site's main method of growth will be through a combination of novelty and network effects, and it will differentiate itself from the competition by having an early focus on creating a mentally positive environment by suppressing negative content to a certain extent, thus avoiding the impacts of negativity bias[1]. This will hopefully avoid the negative outcome of sites like voat.co and lead to the site growing quickly.

Do you know of a demographic that is underserved by current media aggregation sites? Any advice on how to target that demographic and meet their needs?
